naptha / tessdata Goto Github PK

Hi,

I need to download the trained data to offer offline ocr to my users.

I saw the existence of this repo and that you had problems hosting big files on github so I guess that's why you created the npm packages for each language.

This is very good because now I can get the traineddata from jsdelivr with the urls:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tesseract.js-data/deu/4.0.0_best_int/deu.traineddata.gz
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tesseract.js-data/eng/4.0.0_best_int/eng.traineddata.gz
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tesseract.js-data/ita/4.0.0_best_int/ita.traineddata.gz

I think this is also the default way tesseract.js V5 downloads the trained data.

Could you please write a short paragraph in the readme describing what you did with the npm packages and jsdelivr and how users can benefit from it?

Thank you!

Could you please update the license for these files. Thank you.

why offline version need download language package, is other example (react fot resseract.js need download , not only change code)

Long story short, the download links form tessdata.projectnaptha.com cause some browsers (Vivaldi and Brave, at the very least) to give a warning along the lines of "this file cannot be downloaded securely". Maybe this has to do with outdated security certificates or something? I don't know.

The longer version is that I was trying a browser extension (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ocr-image-to-text-image-r/hoknogdfolliknmnnglffgmfflcdpdih) that uses the trained data to do in-browser OCR. The extension is written so that it downloads the traineddata.gz from the same locations listed in the readme for this very (naptha/tessdata) github project. It first tries the projectnaptha.com links, and then fails over to the github links. Since the projectnaptha.com links get flagged as insecure, this causes problems. Vivaldi handles the failover properly, while Brave does not, making the extension unusable on Brave. Hopefully someone in this project can pass along the issue of insecure downloads to the webmaster, admin, or owner of the projectnaptha.com site.
