Hi Alex, You might consider a template matching toolkit like OpenCV [1], I haven’t used it with words but I suspect it would work well in this kind of situation. OpenCV can also be used to remove basic shapes, such as circles and so on, but having a list of the words you want is a huge advantage.

This should be relatively simple from clear, high-res images like the one attached, but my attempts with Tesseract so are are pretty dismal... It found 9 of 25 molecules. I even have the luxury of knowing in advance all the words I'd like extract and tried supplying these as eng.user-words, but there was no improvement. I suspect I need to find the magic combination of parameter settings or perhaps image pre-processing. Any suggestions?
