Hi Olivier I would like to refer to the fact that you need to process the image in a different way. You need to Binarize the Image, convert it into black and white and then run Erode and Dilate on it so that the proper text is extracted. You might also need to correct the skewing angle. The text output then can be expected to be okay. Keep up the Good work,
