So I am working on this project and I need to use tess4J inorder to read some text on some images. Unfortunatly i can not seem to resolve the following error:

Error opening data file C:\Users\****\eclipse workspace\****\tessdata\eng.traineddata Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to your "tessdata" directory. Failed loading language 'eng' Tesseract couldn't load any languages!

The path for the tessdata folder is given using instance.setDatapath("C:\\Users\\****\\eclipse workspace\\****\\tessdata\\")

Where instance is ITesseract instance = new Tesseract();

Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated.

Thank you

Make sure your eng.traineddata file is not corrupted and of the correct version. If it is for Tesseract 4.0, use either fast or best.

  • so that did not work and the error stayed. I finally gave up and decided to download a whole project from github and work my way from there. After a bit of time the error went away but I am now presented with another error. `Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'libtesseract302': The specified module could not be found.` keep in mind this is even without modifying the project just loading it into eclipse.

  • small update, I found online that you should be running it on x32 jre (since the dlls are that wat) so I tried that but the error is still there – mohammed mallah Feb 07 '19 at 09:58
