@iluz0r thanks for testing the new binaries! Would you be able to share some more details regarding the kind of exception you're getting? Also, did you set the TESSDATA_PREFIX path...

@iluz0r I see. Unfortunately, that does not give me much to go on. What's the extension of the image you're using? Have you tried with other images / image formats?

If you remove the Tesseract 5.x DLLs from `venv\Lib\site-packages` and try `GetUTF8Text()`, do you still get the exception (maybe you have conflicting DLLs)? Also, could you verify that the Tesseract...

Would you have time for a quick chat? https://stin.to/xn0gh

Sorry for the very long wait everyone. The old build pipeline was in dire need of a proper refactor. The build of Tesseract was depending on [CPPAN](https://github.com/cppan/cppan) which is not...

@zdenop sure. I'm still waiting for some help regarding https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr/issues/295 before posting the 5.x wheels in the Releases section.

Thanks to the groundwork of @dgvogol, I was able to build **tesserocr 2.2.2** for windows: - Python 3.6 - [tesserocr-2.2.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.zip](https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr/files/1376493/tesserocr-2.2.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.zip) - [tesserocr-2.2.2-cp36-cp36m-win32.zip](https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr/files/1376494/tesserocr-2.2.2-cp36-cp36m-win32.zip) - Python 3.5 - [tesserocr-2.2.2-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.zip](https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr/files/1376502/tesserocr-2.2.2-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.zip) - [tesserocr-2.2.2-cp35-cp35m-win32.zip](https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr/files/1376503/tesserocr-2.2.2-cp35-cp35m-win32.zip) -...

@NozomiIto have a look at https://github.com/simonflueckiger/tesserocr-windows_build and https://ci.appveyor.com/project/simonflueckiger/tesserocr-windows-build. I'm really glad that you want to help me out with this issue! Would you still be interested to look into this...

@rleonard11 can you give it a try without the _tessdata_? 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata' -> 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR' if this still doesn't work, lets talk on _[tlk.io url expired]_

@cancan101 what version of Python are you using? See if the wheels I added [here](https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr/issues/19#issuecomment-335875716) work for you.
