I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess that you downloaded these images from a digital library or some other online source. If they make higher resolution images available, download those - but it's likely they don't. Camus died in 1960; his works are covered by copyright (in Europe) until 2031 - it's quite likely that the resolution was chosen specifically so nobody would be able to use OCR on the scans. -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
