Tesseract quiet mode

Question

Under Ubuntu I use tesseract-ocr in version 3.02. Especially the wrapper pytesseract for python, but this question is also about the commandline-tool.

In the FAQ under https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_make_the_error_messages_go_to_tesseract.log_instead_of

is written that there is a option/config-file "quiet" supressing the info line of tesseract.

However, when I call tesseract command line with this option, it says

"read_params_file: Can't open quiet"

And it is right, in the corresponding config-folder there is no "quiet"-config-file.

Where can I get it or how can I create it?

The info-line which I want to supress is: "Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.02 with Leptonica".

Answer 1

quiet is part of tesseract-ocr repository: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/master/tessdata/configs/quiet

Answer 2

The quiet config file from the other answer contains one line: debug_file /dev/null

If the config can't be used this way for some reason, you can achieve the same effect by adding -c debug_file=/dev/null somewhere before the input/output params.
