Hi, I didn't expect such a feedback - many thanks for all your answers! I will try to put your tips (adding some new tif/box and editing the wordlist) into practice :-) Is it possible to add my new box (or better .tr-files) to the existing deu-frak.traineddata directly? Or do I have to create a new .traineddata by using all box-files from Peter and the new ones from me?
