Thanks for responding. I really appreciate it. Can you tell me what
upscaling is or how to do it with ImageMagick? I don't know that much
about images, jpeg or tiff. Thanks a lot. (also I think the imgur link
is messed up because the version on my computer is a lot bigger /
clearer).
I think that Tesseract, in order to be a successful project, must
be much more clear about what it is offering.
Now many people believe it is "an OCR program" that can function as
an alternative to commercial end user products. Some open source
software in other fields (especially OpenOffice and Firefox) can
meet such expectations. So it's natural that complete beginners
come to this list with basic questions about what a bitmap image
is. The commercial end user products would not bother their
customers with such details.
But today's Tesseract is much more like a subroutine library
that requires or at least assumes that its users are programmers.
The experts on this list are not really interested in explaining
what a bitmap image is. This mismatch comes from the failure to
explain what Tesseract is.
