Downloading Textum

Currently we do not have hosting for the distribution archives yet.

We will set up public hosting in the future. For now, contact us through the appropriate channels.

The downloaded archive file contains all required files for running the application. Textum does not require an internet connection and sends no data to external services.

Starting Textum

Extract the zip file and run the executable file named textum.

Note that the executable has to be run from inside the folder, otherwise it cannot find its application files.

Creating a desktop shortcut (Windows)

Creating a desktop shortcut is possible though:

  • In the extracted folder, right-click on textum.exe
  • Select Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)
  • This will create a desktop shortcut, allowing you to start the application from the desktop
  • Notably, starting Textum from the Windows start menu is not supported

▶️ Next Steps

  • Continue to Quick Start to run your first recognition job
  • Or have a look at the User Guide to learn about all the features

System Requirements

  • CUDA-capable GPU (recommended, but not required)
  • 8GB RAM should work, but 16GB is better
  • ~20GB disk space
  • Windows 10/11 or Linux. MacOS is not tested
