try gImagereader.

it's a frontend to tesseract and is more workable via its GUI and option menus.

Load the file, execute the program.

That's all I had to do for a successful OCR.

haha, i'm still humming it myself. I actually just started Echoes of Wisdom the other day though, so it's fitting.

I've been traveling for about fifteen years now, if you have any questions.

i did this with a chinese book, but have to check what i used.

The translation was entirely readable.

i think i used tesseract.

No, GImagereader!

that was it.

tesseract was also very straightforward, but gimage reader had a GUI, and all I had to do was import the file and then click export and it did the whole thing.

"As Vasa passed under the lee of the bluffs...a gust of wind filled her sails...the ship slowly righted herself as the gust passed. At Tegelviken, where there is a gap in the bluffs, an even stronger gust again forced the ship onto her port side, this time pushing the open lower gunports under the surface...water continued to pour in until it ran down into the hold. The ship swiftly sank to a depth of 32 m (105 ft) only 120 m (390 ft) from shore.

Vasa sank in full view of a crowd of hundreds, if not thousands, of mostly ordinary Stockholmers who had come to see the ship set sail. The crowd included foreign ambassadors, in effect spies of Gustavus Adolphus' allies and enemies."

It is known in the United States and Australia as abalone"

even cooler than the mural suggests:

"Translating to "Hammer of the Witches" in Latin, the Malleus Maleficarum described the secret lives of witches and cataloged their habits for purposes of easy identification, including the curiously specific description of stealing male genitalia and keeping them alive in bird's nests."

more pics in body.

I didn't recognize it at first, just saw a large white shape I thought might be a fin or a tail originally because of how wavy it was, but then I realized it was a big ol' manta ray!

 

I tried starting from the beginning a few years back but the production value is a little too rough for me to ignore its flaws since I have no investment in or dedication to the show yet.

I'm wondering if I can watch lower decks or whatever the new live action show is and get into Star Trek that way.

 

I was looking for a Nintendo 64 controller on craigslist and found a misplaced ad for teaching English in China.

Completely changed the course of my life, I've been traveling ever since.

very green city, beautiful trees everywhere.

I just got to Panama City, Panama yesterday, buses are a flat $0.25 regardless of distance and the Metro is a flat $0.50 regardless of distance.

took the train for ~8 mi into town to get to my hotel for $0.50.

ate at a Korean BBQ buffet and saw a bunch of mapaches(raccoons) that apparently live along the Pacific Coast here.

with all the fashionable dress, performing arts theaters and bodegas around, it feels a lot like a casual New York City, moreso than any other central city I've been in abroad so far.

it has that "yeah, we're killing it" vibe.

I lived in a 1980 Winnebago Brave for a little under a year and absolutely loved the convenience, comfort and free rent.

I would live in one again because I don't feel like I got all my kicks out the first time.

I still look up prices now and then to make sure they're still pretty cheap in the states.

 

there are three volcanoes ringing this giant lake Atitlan and a mountain range all the way around.

about a dozen smaller towns are ringed around the lake and you can access them via boats from this town, Panajachel.

might stay a few extra days here.

 

Panajachel is next, on the shore of Lake Atitlan

 

I have a hundred of these (beer-fried roast duck, rice tamales, gelato. gelato!) and I'm wondering what foods everyone else discovered or tried later than they wish they had.

 

I always feel like the hands-free bidet is sneaking up on me, I prefer the control and manual aim/pressure of the gun.
