How to batch OCR multiple image files to multiple text files using Tesseract

I am currently using tesseract to OCR some jpeg files to txt files (in Ubuntu 16.04). Typically this is ~500 files in one directory.



I know I can do this by making a text file with all the file names (savedlist.txt), and then do:



tesseract savedlist.txt output.txt


however output.txt is a single file with all the ocr results.



What I need is to be able to save the ocr results to individual txt files with the same file name as the original image file. For example:




input file: image456.jpeg

output file: image456.txt




So I am looking for a command line script that can do this processing.
