… Scoop) Add instructions for installing Tesseract on Windows via winget, Chocolatey, and Scoop package managers. Also add PATH configuration steps and a verification command. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I do not recommend adding installation methods that are not directly supported by the Tesseract team, as this will lead to users requesting support for solutions that are outside of our control. For example, winget attempts to install an outdated version: Alternatively, such methods could be clearly marked as unsupported (e.g., “Use at your own risk; for issues, please refer to the Tesseract forum…”). |

Thank you for the feedback! You're right — I've checked and confirmed that the winget package is outdated (v5.4.0 vs latest v5.5.0). I'll remove winget from the PR. Both Chocolatey and Scoop are currently shipping v5.5.0 and are community-maintained. I'll add a note clarifying that these are third-party packages and not directly supported by the Tesseract team. I'll update the PR shortly. |

Chocolatey and Scoop handle PATH automatically. The original text already covers manual PATH setup for the installer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
