I have an image containing English words with their phonetic equivalents printed alongside (a pronunciation guide.) It's actually for a spelling bee. The organizers of the bee would very much like to get this image as a textual list (so they can manipulate it, pull words from it randomly, and so on) and they came to me for help. I've used Tesseract before, but only to recognize English and French text.
The pronunciation guide contains text with lots of umlauts, upside down letter e's, etc. More specialized characters than are contained in French (which is one thing I tried, in an effort to improve the recognition.) Does anyone have any advice for recognizing characters like this? Should I start training Tesseract to recognize them? I've never done any training before, which is why I'm a bit reluctant.
