Character After String of Numbers Is OCRed as a Number

Post by DocIt » Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:45 pm

Hello GDPictureTeam,

I have a clear document which is being scanned and OCRed. On this document there is only a few lines of text, all of which are clear. The resultant scan is of good quality as well. However, a string "TITLE 1120S K-1" is consistently creating a OCRed text of "TITLE 11208 K-1" We are wondering what to do about this. Is the engine seeing a string of numbers and assuming the next character is a number? Is there anything we can do to fix this?

Thanks

We need to get this working as soon as possible.

The Attached zip file in my previous thread has one PDF file and One Tif image file. You will see both of them will output the same result. Please let us know how we can make it work.

Thanks,

Hi,

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do. The Tesseract engine has characterized this as one word of digits, and thus assumes the 'S' is a segmented '8', especially that the line endings of the 'S' are closer to the middle than most fonts.

Best,
Sami
