By default only the english OCR language is pre-installed. To add additional languages, run the docker container with an interactive console:
docker run -it tclavier/paperwork /bin/bash
Now, it is possible to install the package needed for the missing language. In this example, we will add support for German:
apt-get install tesseract-ocr-deu
Next, the command exit exits the docker container. The changes made need to be commited to the docker image. To do so, we first need to know the ID of the docker image.
The command
docker ps -a
Gives a list of possible images with their corresponding IDs.
Remeber or copy the correct ID and execute the following command to finally commit the changes:
docker commit <ID-of-the-image> tclavier/paperwork
Now, the language is available.
