Hi Dmitri, Thanks for the guidance.
I looked up GetHOCRText() and compared it with GetWords(Pixa pixa). They do very similar things, as they both get the coordinates through word->bounding_box(); however my test show that GetHOCRText() produces an html file with correct coordinates for the words, but GetWords still gives me a Boxa object with 3 million words (gibberish). I don't quite know what I did wrong.
