How to implement Tesseract to run with project in Visual Studio 2010

by

OK, I figured it out but it works for Release and Win32 configuration only (No debug or x64). There are many linking errors under Debug configuration.

So,

1. First of all, download prepared library folder(Tesseract + Leptonica) here:

Mirror 1(Google Drive)

Mirror 2(MediaFire)

2. Extract tesseract.zip to C:\

3. In Visual Studio, go under C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories

Insert C:\tesseract\include

4. Under Linker > General > Additional Library Directories

Insert C:\tesseract\lib

5. Under Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies

Add: 

liblept168.lib
libtesseract302.lib

Sample code should look like this:

#include <tesseract\baseapi.h>
#include <leptonica\allheaders.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void){

    tesseract::TessBaseAPI api;
    api.Init("", "eng", tesseract::OEM_DEFAULT);
    api.SetPageSegMode(static_cast<tesseract::PageSegMode>(7));
    api.SetOutputName("out");

    cout<<"File name:";
    char image[256];
    cin>>image;
    PIX   *pixs = pixRead(image);

    STRING text_out;
    api.ProcessPages(image, NULL, 0, &text_out);

    cout<<text_out.string();

    system("pause");
}
