Anybody have instructions on training Tesseract that actually work? The original instructions (TrainingTesseract3<https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract3>) are not at all clear, and in at least one case just plain wrong. matthew christy's instructions (Training with Tesseract | eMOP<http://emop.tamu.edu/node/47>) are incomplete, contradicts the original instructions, and assumes the use of Franken+ and Aletheia. Haven't been able to get my hands on Aletheia yet so those instructions do me absolutely no good. To say this is not newbie friendly is an understatement of epic proportions.
And I am still not clear why I have to create a new "language"? I have a number of bitmap (not truetype) English fonts that Tesseract does a mediocre job on "out of the box". All I want to do is add these couple fonts and work with them. I suppose if the files used to create the English training data were available I could add them to the English language files. But they don't appear to exist?. Or a tool to extract them from the training data file??? What I have: A number of bitmap fonts in which the characters are exactly the same size, shape, and quality every single time. Every time with zero variation. For each font I have an image containing the entire font's characters. Using the jTessBoxEditor<http://vietocr.sourceforge.net/training.html>I have a working .box file for each font. For simplicity sake say I have Font1.tif/Font1.box, Font2.tif/Font2.box, and Font3.tif/Font3.box. How exactly do I add these three fonts to Tesseract? (Yes, I am a *tiny* bit frustrated at the crap documentation at this point) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
