ScribeAPI Tesseract API

Outputs

This wiki page is to document the input/output information. Rough outline. Add on to it as you learn more about the API.

Scibe API

Output: JSON (I'm assuming since we convert the end result to XML from JSON format).

Edit: Sends a POST request containing x, y, width, height to be processed by rails app. This might be where we can hijack the data we need?

Tesseract API

Input: JPG Images only.

Output: GSON. According to the GSON documentation, GSON is simply a Java library that we can use to convert Java Objects into JSON. Thus, if it does output as a GSON object, we can easily convert that into JSON format.

Scribe to Tesseract

Investigating how to clip selected regions and send from Scribe:

Scribe does not crop the images; it just specifies x, y, width, height of the region on the image

• then sends that info as a POST request

We can crop the images to the specific marked regions given x, y, width, height. See my notes on this (Jonathan)
