OCR White Text on Black or Colored Background?

Post by bmiller » Fri Nov 05, 2021 7:47 pm

Hello

For this question, my requirement is to OCR full documents.

I have OCR code working well in most cases. However, when a document has white text on a black or colored background, the white text is not included in the OCR results. In the attached document, none of the white text is included in my OCR results. All black text is included.

Is there a way to ensure that the OCR handles the mix of text colors in the same document?

Thank you,
Brian
