I think it would make sense to extract this into the README as a ## training tesseract section.
I would split this script into two parts - a setup.sh script (also mention it in the README in the setup instructions) and a train.sh script that takes in a ground truth path.

Totally, I had the same thought. one will likely run once while the other may need many runs.

Since this script creates artifacts, we'll need to add them to a .gitignore file. Ideally, we would keep the sole .gitignore so it's consolidated in one place.

Good Callout, I'll consider what the new entries might need to be.

Is there a way to not populate paths outside of noitool? It would be great if this would be confined to this directory. It looks like you can use TESSDATA variable to make it local. https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesstrain?tab=readme-ov-file#train

Yes, I think that's a great idea, will incorporate.

Work In progress, opening for visibility.
Current status:
tessTrain/tessTrain.sh - works and will set up a baseline ubuntu 22.04 wsl / container / etc with the tools and binaries required for training tesseract. It will also run an example training session with the included example training data. Documentation and sources are commented inside the script for further details look there for now.
tessTrain/example_truth/ - Example of what a training data directory needs to look like. Used by tessTrain.sh to confirm that setup was successful.
