Install OCR Language Data Files
OCR Language Data files contain pretrained language data from
the OCR Engine, tesseract-ocr,
to use with the ocr
function.
Installation
After you install third-party support files, you can use the data with the Computer Vision Toolbox™ product. To install the Add-on support files, use one of the following methods:
Select Get Add-ons from the Add-ons drop-down menu from the MATLAB® desktop. The Add-on files are in the “MathWorks Features” section.

You must have write privileges for the installation folder.
When a new version of MATLAB software is released, repeat this process to check for updates. You can also check for updates between releases.
Pretrained Language Data and the ocr
function
After you install the pretrained language data files, you can
specify one or more additional languages using the Language
property
of the ocr
function. Use the
appropriate language character vector with the property.
