#### open source optical character recognition engine

Tesseract has unicode (UTF-8) support, and can recognize more than 100
languages "out of the box". It can be trained to recognize other languages.
Tesseract supports various output formats: plain-text, hocr(html), pdf.

If you want to access the files under /media/\* or /run/media/\* you'll have
to connect the snap to the `core` snap's `removable-media` interface:

```
 $ sudo snap connect tesseract:removable-media
```
