Can't seem to run tesseract from command line despite adding PATH

The PATH variable should include directories only, not files, such as C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR.


So It seems there are two version for Windows, 4.00 and 3.05 -- 4.00 is still buggy. I installed the 3.05 version and seems to work fine now.

Here is where I got the 3.05 version.

The solution is the following you have to add cd first ...

Example:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR> tesseract --version
