#4 timing

[Anonymous]

The .txt file appears very quickly but the ocr isn't
populated until later. How will I know when it's
done? Is there any way to hold off on the creation
of the .txt file until the ocr is present? just
trying to create the ocr programmatically.

You're probably compiling tesseract under Windows? It seems
the Win32 version use windowing code instead of console.

Modify the project for it to be compiled as console
(/SUBSYSTEM:Console) and to not link agains MFC
You can then comment out all the #ifdef __MSW32__ part in
tesseractmain.cpp, and even the full content of mfcpch.h

The resulting executable will be console and will return
only when the processing is done.

If you're doing this under Unix, you can always check if the
NEXT file's .txt is being created :-) - that's what I am doing!
