In addition to the skew, which I didn't notice until Alistair mentioned it, closer examination also reveals that the images are warped, almost as if the text was displayed on the face of a curved CRT from the olden days. You might try de-warping the image to remove the effects of the curvature so that you have level AND straight lines of text to feed Tess.
