Failed to init API, possibly an invalid tessdata path
  • Check what path ocrd-tesserocr-recognize -D gives (the OCR-D module resource location)
  • This directory (usually a path ending with `tessdata´ below your venv) should contain:
    • *.traineddata
    • including osd.traineddata
    • config/
  • Check those files for corruption
    • ls -l (We have seen empty - 0 byte - files)
    • Use tesseract with the specific model you'd like to use with ocrd-tesserocr-recognize later
