Visual Studio is generally agreed to have the state of the art debugger (even by people who otherwise hate programming on Windows). It's really not that hard to use. Other than my "Debugging Tips" [1] in the docs you referred to earlier which is more specific to stepping into Leptonica code (you probably don't need to do this for your particular problem), I'd say just: 1) Make sure you build the Solution using the LIB_DEBUG configuration. 2) Set the application you want to debug by right clicking on its Project and choosing "Set as Startup Project". 3) Right-click that project and choose Properties, to see its Property Pages. a) In the Debugging section, set "Command Arguments" and maybe "Working Directory" 4) In the file your interested in, click on the left margin to set a breakpoint at that line. 5) Hit <F5> to start debugging. Or just right click the Project, choose Debug -> Step Into new instance. Lots more details about debugging with Visual Studio can be found via Google. That said, tesseract is *very* complicated code with little implementation documentation. I know from personal experience that trying to figure out how it works by reading the code and stepping through it can be extremely painful. The training parts of tesseract are even less documented, use proprietary training files, and there are hints in the dev mailing list that significant changes are in the works. I eventually gave up, partly because I don't particularly have any interest in custom OCR. My main interest is supporting the Leptonica Image Processing library on Windows, and I volunteered to create a better Visual Studio solution for tesseract (since it is one of the most popular client apps).
