About this application

gImageReader is a graphical user interface built with GTK that acts as a frontend for the Tesseract optical character recognition engine. It allows users to import images from local storage, via scanning devices, or directly from the clipboard to extract text content. The application provides tools for manual and automatic page layout recognition, region selection, and text editing within the main workspace. Users can perform spell-checking on the recognized text, output the results to plain text files, or export them to PDF format. This software is designed specifically to run on Linux operating systems.
