@rileyhawk1417 indeed it is not supposed to happen. Could you share the image so i can try to reproduce? If i cant i will share a test version with debug logs and crash report
thanks

[rileyhawk1417]

Sure this is the image I was trying to scan.

Am open to running a debug version for sharing logs.

[farfromrefug]

@rileyhawk1417 ok i cant reproduce it using your image. Does it work for other images? or is OCR simply always crashing for you?
I will create a test release for you

[rileyhawk1417]

Well I did try the other settings best, fast they did work fine its just the standard setting that's crashing.
I usually went with standard for the previous versions I was on.

[farfromrefug]

@rileyhawk1417 ok good to know. And standard works for other images?

[rileyhawk1417]

Well some images do manage to get the progress bar to 100%. The app still crashes when using OCR in standard mode. Others dont even give it time to scan.

[farfromrefug]

@rileyhawk1417 it seems like a tesseract crash. But to make sure i 100% understand. You never get on image to work with standard?
By work meaning finishing and let you see the scanned text

[rileyhawk1417]

Yes thats correct the standard setting doesnt do the scan completely(meaning it scanning successfully and not crashing), and it also doesnt show any text.

[rileyhawk1417]

🤔so tesseract is the engine for the OCR?

[farfromrefug]

@rileyhawk1417 yes right now the app is using tesseract. I already faced issues with Tesseract. Not sure why it always crashes in your case. English right?
Need to make a test build for you today...

[rileyhawk1417]

Yes am using english text in most cases.
🤔First time I heard of tesseract might be something fun to look into.

@rileyhawk1417 can you try this build https://github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner/releases/tag/test_android ?
upon crash and then app restart it should send me a bug report.

[rileyhawk1417]

Just tested on 3 images, it crashed each time on the standard setting. Doesn't have any indication that a bug report was sent though, hope they got to you.

[farfromrefug]

@rileyhawk1417 thanks i got the report. It is indeed a crash in tesseract. I ll investigate but it is a bit tough as i cant reproduce it here.
Thanks for the report

[rileyhawk1417]

No worries glad it came through.

Same issue here. The OCR model download failed due to connection lost in my first attempt. The app should try to download it again in the next attempt, instead it shows the 'detecting text' screen and crashes after few seconds

[farfromrefug]

@RamPawar7 good catch! i did not think about this. WIll fix

[RamPawar7]

In the latest update, the app now correctly downloads the models if it was failed in previous attempt. But I had to clear the app data after updating for it to work

[farfromrefug]

@RamPawar7 yes i am totally sorry i forgot to tell you that. To have the less impact it had to be you (failed download) reset the app. Otherwise all app users would have been asked to download again.
Sorry for forgetting to tell you!

@farfromrefug No worries. I am a new user, so I didn't have any important data
