OCRTesseractDoOCR not threadsafe?

[ejurschi]

I am trying to integrate some ocr functionality into a multithreaded job processing software. Without the ocr everything is stable and threadsafe.

OCRTesseractDoOCR is working fine sequentially (while using only 1 thread), but with 2 threads and more it crashes with an access violation in gdocrplug.tesseract.dll. (Windows 7-64, Delphi 7).

So: Is OCRTesseractDoOCR not threadsafe?

Btw, I am impressed with GdPicture ActiveX, good work!

Hi,

Tesseract OCR engine is not yet thread-safe. You can use it in a single thread mode only.

Work is in progress to release a multi-thread engine

Kind regards,

Loïc

Good news, thank you!
OCRing without using all cores of a machine is well, like 1995
