Consider this <https://i.stack.imgur.com/usCwV.png> small png image depicting the word 'Account' in black on a white background. For this ground-truth image the output differs between the following two Tesseract command-line operations, with (A) better than (B). (B) is required in order for me as the user to be have any hope of sensibly controlling Tesseract's large number of configuration parameters - but preferably with (A)'s excellent extraction performance. *Case A (no config file):* tesseract -v test.png test tesseract 4.1.0 leptonica-1.78.0 libgif 5.1.4 : libjpeg 9c : libpng 1.6.37 : libtiff 4.0.10 : zlib 1.2.11 : libwebp 1.0.3 : libopenjp2 2.3.1 Found AVX2 Found AVX Found SSE Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v4.1.0 with Leptonica cat test.txt Account ^L *Case B (using config file, which is obviously desirable, to avoid trying to discover the default parameters by brute force):* tesseract --print-parameters > tess_default.cfg tesseract -v test.png test test_default.cfg ccot ^L Page separator (default is form feed control character) I believe the output should be the same in both cases, but it is not. *Q1. Why?* *Case A* is clearly more accurate in its output, but *Case B* is not very accurate. *Q2. How does one otherwise discover the current configuration of Tesseract if not using --print-parameters?* Thanks for all help.
