def deps do
  [
    {:tesseract_ocr, "~> 0.1.4"}
  ]
end
```

## Usage

Reading an image file.

```elixir
iex> TesseractOcr.read("test/resources/world.png")
"world"
```

With additional options.

```elixir
iex> TesseractOcr.read("test/resources/world.png", %{lang: 'por', psm: 7, oem: 1})
"world"
```

Get words positions.

```elixir
iex> TesseractOcr.Words.read("test/resources/world.png")
[%{confidence: 95, word: "world", x_end: 185, x_start: 2, y_end: 56, y_start: 2}]
```

Convert imagem into PDF with text.

```elixir
iex> TesseractOcr.PDF.read("test/resources/world.png", "/tmp/test")
"/tmp/test.pdf"
```
