File not found about pyocr

Since it generated a output.txt instead of a output.hocr or output.html, my guess would be that you're missing the configuration file hocr (/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/configs/hocr with Tesseract 3.05 in Debian). If so, it shouldn't have been silenced however.

I compiled tesseract on my own and I got a hocr file in /usr/local/share/tessdata/configs/hocr
I got this output with --print-parameters command option:

tesseract --print-parameters | grep hocr
hocr_font_info 0 Add font info to hocr output
tessedit_create_hocr 0 Write .html hOCR output file

0 means disabled ?
Is there a way to make sure tesseract uses the hocr specified above?

Thank you for your help

0 = disabled. But this is to be expected since you didn't specify to Tesseract that it must use the hocr configuration file.

% tesseract --print-parameters | grep hocr
hocr_font_info	0	Add font info to hocr output
tessedit_create_hocr	0	Write .html hOCR output file

% tesseract --print-parameters randomfile.jpeg randomoutputfile hocr | grep hocr
hocr_font_info	0	Add font info to hocr output
tessedit_create_hocr	1	Write .html hOCR output file

What is the content of your /usr/local/share/tessdata/configs/hocr ?

I rebuild completely tesseract with latest version and I got no problem.
It seems it was an issue with my tessdata path, files were installed in different place...

Thank you for your help ;-)
