Yes, we are using the -psm 6 command line argument. And it was not working.
But I figured out the issue. Tesseract has a set of config files. Inside several of these config files (hocr, pdf, tsv, unlv) is the setting *tessedit_pageseg_mode*. This setting was set to 1 in all the config files. Once I removed the *tessedit_pageseg_mode* parameter from the config files, our command line argument of -psm 6 worked. Alternatively, I did experiment with the config files. When I changed the *tessedit_pageseg_mode *setting to 6 in all the config files and ran Tesseract with the -psm 6 command line argument, it also worked.
