Keith, Thank you so much for this. You are not alone. You have just clued me in. I am about ready to start my first training run. Then I saw this in my email box.
You may be a life saver for doing this. How are we supposed to know these things if the docs are not updated. After looking inside my own tesseract folder (I have tesseract 5.00 on Ubuntu 18.04), I don't even see the training subfolder that I expected to see. When you cloned the tesstrain repo, where did you place the tesstrain folder? Is it a subfolder inside of the ~/tesseract folder itself, or does it stand alone outside of the tesseract folder structure? Thanks again for doing this. I would have been going bonkers within a few days without the clue-in. Max Richey On Fri, Jan 8, 2021 at 8:35 AM Keith <kmo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Shree, > > Thank you for your reply.
