[MEI-L] Seeking help with Audiveris engine/Tesseract

Hello all,

I hope that everyone is doing well during this public health crisis. As I am stuck at home for the unforeseeable future I have a bit more time (no more driving to work!). I wanted to build and test out the Audiveris engine on my own machine to see if I can process sheet music and use the OMR to extract musicXML. Has anyone worked or is working with the Audiveris engine to extract music notation? Here is the link to the development guide: https://bacchushlg.gitbooks.io/audiveris-5-1/content/install/sources.html.

I have built the engine on my machine and have installed the dependencies (JDK 8, Git, Tesseract, FreeType Library), but I am running into an issue with Tesseract. The Audiveris engine requires that you use Tesseract 3.04 language data instead of 4.0 (it won’t work with the newer version). I installed Tesseract on my machine, but when I add the 3.04 language data it doesn’t see it and I keep getting the following error messages, which I believe are because I don’t have Tesseract set up correctly and/or the right version language files.

If anyone is able to provide some assistance, please let me know.

Thanks!
Anna
