Can I use tesseract OCR on Luckfox Pico Max?
If so, can anyone give me a simple explanation of how to do it?

Hello, running Tesseract OCR offline on the Luckfox Pico requires either an ARM version of the installation package or source code to be cross-compiled. This can be quite challenging. If you need camera support, you'll have to use the Buildroot system. The uClibc-based Buildroot system has poor compatibility with Python, and many packages may not install successfully. Additionally, using the NPU might face operator incompatibility issues. Running it solely on the CPU will likely yield poor performance on the Luckfox Pico due to its clock speed and memory limitations. It's not recommended to run Tesseract OCR on the Luckfox Pico.
