PHP Text Detection
==================

[](#php-text-detection)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.6 or ^7.1
- Tesseract

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require cafeimers/textdetector

```

‼️ **This library depends on [Tesseract OCR](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract), version *3.03* or later.**

### Note for Windows users

[](#note-for-windows-users)

There are \[many ways\]\[tesseract\_installation\_on\_windows\] to install [Tesseract OCR](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) on your system, but if you just want something quick to get up and running, I recommend installing the [Capture2Text](http://capture2text.sourceforge.net) package with [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/).

```
	choco install capture2text --version 3.9

```

⚠️ Recent versions of [Capture2Text](http://capture2text.sourceforge.net) stopped shipping the `tesseract` binary.

### Note for macOS users

[](#note-for-macos-users)

With [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) you can install support for individual languages, like so:

```
	$ sudo port install tesseract-

```

But that is not possible with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). It comes only with **English** support by default, so if you intend to use it for other language, the quickest solution is to install them all:

```
	$ brew install tesseract --with-all-languages

```

### Note for Linux/Ubuntu users

[](#note-for-linuxubuntu-users)

```
$ sudo apt-get install tesseract

```
