How to install

First you will need the dependencies:

Dependencies

Example of dependencies on Ubuntu:

Download and install Qt from here, like this video .

Remember the path where you installed it and add Qt6 support and Qt5 compatibility

And now install the packages:

sudo apt install build-essential cmake make g++ \
  libtesseract-dev wget unzip libopencv-dev \
  libgtk-3-dev tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-por \
  libpng++-dev libpng16-16 libpng-dev

Install OpenCV:

wget -O opencv.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/master.zip
unzip opencv.zip
mv opencv-master opencv
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake ../opencv
make
sudo make install

Building and Install

And then clone, build and install:

NOTE: [PATH/TO]/Qt/[VERSION] is the location you installed Qt and the Version number, example: ${HOME}/Qt/6.3.0

git clone https://github.com/terroo/img2txt
cd img2txt
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DQT_DIR_VER="[PATH/TO]/Qt/[VERSION]" ..
make
sudo make install
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/img2txt # IMPORTANT POS INSTALL

Img2Txt source code:

Watch the video

The video is in Portuguese, but in addition to being able to use Youtube’s automatic translation, the procedures are universal regardless of the language.
