OCR font type

[gozi]

Hi, I am evaluating the OCR engine. For my application I want to constrain the font to a single font type. I wonder if there is a way to define a custom font and force the OCR to recognize only that one. Is it possible to teach the Font to the OCR engine?.

Hi Guillermo,

It is possible to train Tesseract engine but we provide a very limited support for that.
What you have to do is to create custom dictionary files in order to replace existing ones.
You can find lot of information from this page: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ ... Tesseract2

Hope this helps !
