I've looked all over the Google code site but am just not finding anything that explains how to use Tesseract from an API perspective. Anyone know where I can find this?

I suggest starting here for a quick introduction and tutorial:

Which includes a link to:

It may be best to look at the raw source for baseapi (linked above) because the code/comments don't seem to cooperate perfectly well with doxygen (at least for that file's docs). However, you can presently find a doxygen-generated API reference at:

Which is probably what you ultimately want to use as a top-level reference.

  • A simplified interface to Tesseract is provided by the [OpenCV Scene Text Recognition API](http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d8/df2/group__text__recognize.html). – Brent Bradburn May 06 '16 at 17:27
