How to batch OCR multiple image files to multiple text files using Tesseract
I am currently using tesseract to OCR some jpeg files to txt files (in Ubuntu 16.04). Typically this is ~500 files in one directory.
I know I can do this by making a text file with all the file names (savedlist.txt), and then do:
tesseract savedlist.txt output.txt
however output.txt is a single file with all the ocr results.
What I need is to be able to save the ocr results to individual txt files with the same file name as the original image file. For example:
input file: image456.jpeg
output file: image456.txt
So I am looking for a command line script that can do this processing.
