Jessica,
I'm fearly interested.
In my case I have to recognize the expiration date of medecins, and for the
numbers, the used fonts are difficult to find.
I also was planning to train tesseract directly from a set of photos.
Are you using the not yet released version 3.0 or the last official release?
I'm interested to have more details.
Giuseppe

I am currently using Tesseract to recognize characters from photos of
water meters. I've used a variety of methods to extract a clean, black
and white line of numbers from the photo and I've trained a new
character set that is comprised of images of the dials. The biggest
issue I'd say is not training Tesseract to recognize the numbers, but
rather being able to consistently produce/extract clear numbers from a
photo. (If you're interested, I currently have a recognition success
rate of >90% )
