With the tesseract executable, you can use the tessedit_create_boxfile config variable. For example:
tesseract myimage.png out makebox where "makebox" is a configuration file that contains the line: tessedit_create_boxfile 1 In my case, I tested it with Tesseract v3.02.02 on Linux and my config file, that had only that one line, was on the same directory I invoked the program. However, you can also use the configuration files in the tessdata directory that come with the source code. Tesseract will create the text file "out.box" consisting of lines with six columns, like this: a 24 55 32 70 0 b 41 57 51 71 0 c 59 58 69 73 0 Column 1: the character Column 2: bounding box lower left X coordinate Column 3: bounding box lower left Y coordinate Column 4: bounding box upper right X coordinate Column 4: bounding box upper right Y coordinate Column 6: ? Note that the origin of the coordinate system is on the lower left corner of the image, with the Y-axis "pointing upwards".
