Orc Prom Mac OS
In this video I discuss what I liked better and worse about switching from a MacBook Pro / OS X to a System 76 Oryx Pro machine for web development. Mac OS X & macOS names. As you can see from the list above, with the exception of the first OS X beta, all versions of the Mac operating system from 2001 to 2012 were all named after big cats.

Developer Message
Using the Finder's Get Info command on either the disk or application will display the version number, the date the disk was finalized... and a helpful tip on how to circumvent the copy protection!
Unused Icon
An unused white-on-black version of the game's icon is assigned to files of type TEXT and creator RAIN. (The game's data files are of type TEXT, but have no creator, and are invisible in any case—that's the copy protection. Saved games are of type L9SV and creator GAME, and have no icon assigned.)
| TEXT (unused) |
|---|
The inverted icon isn't an exact match: there's one pixel removed from the left side of the 9.
Debugging Material
Orc Prom Mac Os 11
The application contains a fair bit of text from a Level 9 debugging tool originally written for the Atari ST.
| This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Can this mode be accessed from within the game? The parser does seem to recognize the word debug. |

Tesseract is an optical character recognition engine for various operating systems.[3] It is free software, released under the Apache License.[1][4][5] Originally developed by Hewlett-Packard as proprietary software in the 1980s, it was released as open source in 2005 and development has been sponsored by Google since 2006.[6]
In 2006, Tesseract was considered one of the most accurate open-source OCR engines then available.[5][7]
History[edit]
The Tesseract engine was originally developed as proprietary software at Hewlett Packard labs in Bristol, England and Greeley, Colorado between 1985 and 1994, with some more changes made in 1996 to port to Windows, and some migration from C to C++ in 1998. A lot of the code was written in C, and then some more was written in C++. Since then all the code has been converted to at least compile with a C++ compiler.[4] Very little work was done in the following decade. It was then released as open source in 2005 by Hewlett Packard and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Tesseract development has been sponsored by Google since 2006.[6]

Features[edit]
Tesseract was in the top three OCR engines in terms of character accuracy in 1995.[8] It is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. However, due to limited resources it is only rigorously tested by developers under Windows and Ubuntu.[4][5]
Tesseract up to and including version 2 could only accept TIFF images of simple one-column text as inputs. These early versions did not include layout analysis, and so inputting multi-columned text, images, or equations produced garbled output. Since version 3.00 Tesseract has supported output text formatting, hOCR[9] positional information and page-layout analysis. Support for a number of new image formats was added using the Leptonica library. Tesseract can detect whether text is monospaced or proportionally spaced.[5]
The initial versions of Tesseract could only recognize English-language text. Tesseract v2 added six additional Western languages (French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch). Version 3 extended language support significantly to include ideographic (Chinese & Japanese) and right-to-left (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew) languages, as well as many more scripts. New languages included Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, German (Fraktur script), Greek, Finnish, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak (standard and Fraktur script), Slovenian, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. V3.04, released in July 2015, added an additional 39 language/script combinations, bringing the total count of support languages to over 100. New language codes included: amh (Amharic), asm (Assamese), aze_cyrl (Azerbaijana in Cyrillic script), bod (Tibetan), bos (Bosnian), ceb (Cebuano), cym (Welsh), dzo (Dzongkha), fas (Persian), gle (Irish), guj (Gujarati), hat (Haitian and Haitian Creole), iku (Inuktitut), jav (Javanese), kat (Georgian), kat_old (Old Georgian), kaz (Kazakh), khm (Central Khmer), kir (Kyrgyz), kur (Kurdish), lao (Lao), lat (Latin), mar (Marathi), mya (Burmese), nep (Nepali), ori (Oriya), pan (Punjabi), pus (Pashto), san (Sanskrit), sin (Sinhala), srp_latn (Serbian in Latin script), syr (Syriac), tgk (Tajik), tir (Tigrinya), uig (Uyghur), urd (Urdu), uzb (Uzbek), uzb_cyrl (Uzbek in Cyrillic script), yid (Yiddish).[10]
In addition Tesseract can be trained to work in other languages.[5]
Tesseract can process right-to-left text such as Arabic or Hebrew, many Indic scripts as well as CJK quite well. Accuracy rates are shown in this presentation for Tesseract tutorial at DAS 2016, Santorini by Ray Smith.[11]
Tesseract is suitable for use as a backend and can be used for more complicated OCR tasks including layout analysis by using a frontend such as OCRopus.[12]
Tesseract's output will have very poor quality if the input images are not preprocessed to suit it: Images (especially screenshots) must be scaled up such that the text x-height is at least 20 pixels,[13] any rotation or skew must be corrected or no text will be recognized, low-frequency changes in brightness must be high-pass filtered, or Tesseract's binarization stage will destroy much of the page, and dark borders must be manually removed, or they will be misinterpreted as characters.[14]
Version 4[edit]
Version 4 adds LSTM based OCR engine and models for many additional languages and scripts, bringing the total to 116 languages.[15]
Additionally scripts for 37 languages are supported so it is possible to recognize a language by using the script it is written in.
User interfaces[edit]
Tesseract is executed from the command-line interface.[16] While Tesseract is not supplied with a GUI, there are many separate projects which provide a GUI for it.[17] One common example is OCRFeeder.[18]
Reception[edit]
Orc Prom Mac Os X
In a July 2007 article on Tesseract, Anthony Kay of Linux Journal termed it 'a quirky command-line tool that does an outstanding job'. At that time he noted 'Tesseract is a bare-bones OCR engine. The build process is a little quirky, and the engine needs some additional features (such as layout detection), but the core feature, text recognition, is drastically better than anything else I've tried from the Open Source community. It is reasonably easy to get excellent recognition rates using nothing more than a scanner and some image tools, such as The GIMP and Netpbm.'[3]
On November 2020, Brewster Kahle from the Internet Archive praised Tesseract saying:[19]
Tesseract has made a major step forward in the last few years. When we last evaluated the accuracy it was not as good as the proprietary OCR, but that has changed– we have done evaluations and it is just as good, and can get better for our application because of its new architecture.
