Tesseract doesn't seem to pick up the proper language unless I rename /usr/share/tessdata/eng.traineddata to */osd.traineddata. Putting "export TESSDATA_PREFIX" in .bashrc doesn't appear to have any effect as far as I can tell. I've also tried placing the language argument within your script, feeding it by command line, and in ~/.config/readablepdf.conf, all to the same effect.
My current problem, however, is with pdfbeads. Though I don't think I follow the error:
Code:
/usr/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- iconv (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/pdfbeads-1.1.1/bin/pdfbeads:35:in `<top (required)>'
from /usr/bin/pdfbeads:23:in `load'
from /usr/bin/pdfbeads:23:in `<main>'
Thanks again. Any help is appreciated.
