tesseract

I am looking for a OCR component that converts images of text into characters using php.

I got a script tesseract-ocr from google code. How can I install and launch tesseract-ocr through php ?

As I am a beginner in PHP, I cant come up with the documentation they provided. I need some simple steps to install and launch ? thanks in advance.
