Hi, I have to solve the following OCR problem:
I have to recognize different fields from a "form like" document. Some of those fields may only contain numbers, others may only contain letters or certain specific words. I have got two main questions concerning this task: 1. How can I separate the form into the different fields in the best way? Does tesseract already do this for me or is it better to use other approaches (e.g. using OpenCV and Haar classifiers similar to face detection) ? 2. How can I tell tesseract to recognize the text with respect to its context (e.g. how do I tell tesseract that field 3 may only contain numbers). I want to avoid that tesseract translates the whole document without paying attention to the characteristics of each form field.
