As a developer I am cautious to estimate the amount of time a code change will take. I am thrilled to have the code and look forward to enhancements as they are ported to .net environments. For now I am cleaning up the image in pre processing steps to remove blobs that are inconsistent with others - this is not a problem in my use case and gets around this tesseract issue just fine.

This is issue is arguably the most damaging Tesseract flaw for mixed text material (which is almost everything except books).
