I searched a lot and found this: tesseract image.tif boxes batch.nochop makebox
If I invoke that, i get a boxes.txt file with what appear to be coordinates. But they are too large. I read somewhere that tesseract computes the coordinates from the bottom of the image and not from the top left corner (from the tests I did, this does not appear to be valid). There are also two instances of the same word (same combination of letters) appearing in boxes.txt, whereas the image contains only one instance. Can anybody please shed some light here?
