write("page01.tiff", sample_tiff())
write("page02.tiff", sample_tiff())
write("page03.tiff", sample_tiff())

# Download the Tesseract English data files
download_languages("eng")

# Initialize the library to generate a text file.
instance = TessInst("eng")
pipeline = TessPipeline(instance)

tess_pipeline_text(pipeline, "My Book.txt")

# Process all the pages in the book.
tess_run_pipeline(pipeline, "My First Book") do add
    add(pix_read("page01.tiff"), 72)
    add(pix_read("page02.tiff"), 72)
    add(pix_read("page03.tiff"), 72)
