HOCR for HTML for rendering

Question

How to convert hOCR to HTML for rendering?

If you open the raw hOCR file, it will only display as plain text (elements are not located)

Answer 1

There are different solutions for this task, and I know these three:

• https://github.com/kba/hocrjs (put the hoc data on the image, various options for showing this)

• https://github.com/not-implemented/hocr-proofreader (shows the image on the left and the hoc data on the right, you can use to enter corrections)

• https://github.com/ultrasaurus/hocr-javascript

All of these repositions appear to consist mainly of some JavaScript and CSS files. The first two repositories have a link to some demo page on which I took pictures.

The first one provides a Greasemonkey / Tampermonkey script that allows you to enter this overlay on any suitable hocr website online and local (some configuration may be possible for this). I don't know how difficult it is to use other solutins for your own hocr files, but this should be doable.

Answer 2

hOCR is HTML. You can view it in a web browser.
