How to use in a Rails project?

[tibbon]

I'm a little new to this. How do I use this in a Rails project? Do I have to make my own gem?

https://rubygems.org/gems/tesseract

in your Gemfile do:

gem 'tesseract', '~> 0.0.1'

Note you need to have tesseract binary in your path and the image magic convert command in your path
