Your image is not very "linear" in the sense that a word document is and which Tesseract by default does best with. You should try another page segmentation. I tried -psm 6 and got
l 6 3 s 2 ‘ 7 9 5 Note this is not 100% accurate so you might then try increasing the resolution of your image. New users make all the same mistakes - wrong PSM and wrong resolution - this is mentioned in the Tesseract documentation. https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/ImproveQuality On 19 August 2016 at 18:44, Jeremy Colton <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > i have the latest tesseract-ocr: > > tesseract 3.03 > leptonica-1.70 > libgif 4.1.6(?) : libjpeg 8d : libpng 1.2.50 : libtiff 4.0.3 : zlib > 1.2.8 : webp 0.4.0 > > I created an image in paint with pixels 12px and 20px numbers.
