## ERPNext OCR
> :alembic: **Experimental** Frappe OCR application with [tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract).
This project is a fork of [ERPNext-OCR](https://github.com/jvfiel/ERPNext-OCR) by [John Vincent Fiel](https://github.com/jvfiel). Its aim is to fix and cleanup the original source code and add some new features.
Check out more on [ERPNext Discuss](https://discuss.erpnext.com/t/erpnext-ocr-app/33834/7).

## :construction: Install
### Pre-requisites: tesseract-python and imagemagick
Install tesseract-ocr, plus imagemagick and ghostscript (to work with pdf files) using this command on Debian:
```sh
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr imagemagick libmagickwand-dev ghostscript
```
### Install Frappe application
```sh
bench get-app --branch develop erpnext_ocr https://github.com/Monogramm/erpnext_ocr
bench install-app erpnext_ocr
```
When installing Frappe app, the following python requirements will be installed:
- python binding for tesseract, [tesserocr](https://pypi.org/project/tesserocr/)
- image processing library in python, [pillow](https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/)
- HTTP library in python, [requests](https://pypi.org/project/requests/)
- python binding for imagemagick, [wand](https://pypi.org/project/Wand/)
## :rocket: Usage

**Sample Screenshot**:

### Tesseract trained data
In order to use OCR with different languages, you need to install the appropriate trained data files.
Check tesseract Wiki for details:
### Development
If you wish to develop or just test locally this application, you can use `docker-compose up -d` at the root of the this repository.
You can then access your ERPNext OCR dev env at `http://localhost:8080`.
### Known issues
- `wand.exceptions.PolicyError: not authorized '/opt/sample.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/412`
- This can happen due to security configuration in imagemagick preventing it to read PDF files.
- Reference:
-
-
- `wand.exceptions.WandRuntimeError: MagickReadImage returns false, but did raise ImageMagick exception. This can occurs when a delegate is missing, or returns EXIT_SUCCESS without generating a raster.`
- This might happen if you're missing a dependency to convert PDF, most of the time `ghostscript`
- References:
-
- `OSError: encoder error -2 when writing image file`
- This might happen when trying to open a TIFF image, but the real error is "_hidden_" and only displayed in console.
- If the original error in console is `Fax3SetupState: Bits/sample must be 1 for Group 3/4 encoding/decoding.` that usually happens when TIFF image compression is not valid / recognized.
## :white_check_mark: Run tests
```sh
bench run-tests --app erpnext_ocr
