[tesseract-ocr] advice for OCR'ing 9-pin dot matrix BASIC code

Hi there, I've been circling a problem with OCR'ing 90-pages of 30 year old BASIC code. I've been working on optimizing my scanning settings, and pre-processing, stuck in photoshop for hours messing around. Long couple days with this stuff! I've been through tessdoc, through the FAQ, through w

Hello again Alex, Thanks for the conversation. I have someone who has offered to modify a similar, but slightly different, font for me. This would potentially allow some optimization on recognition. For instance, Abbyy FineReader accepts a font file, and providing a matching one, it's suppose

o your document? The standard Tesseract language models were trained on corpora (Wiki articles? not sure) which have a very different character frequency and pattern compared to BASIC programs. rgds, Ben On Monday, January 4, 2021 at 7:56:44 PM UTC-8 Keith M wrote: Hello again Alex

[tesseract-ocr] make training does nothing when run

I'm sure I'm making a beginner mistake here, but I'm struggling quite a bit. I've built straight from source, both version 4.1.1 and 5.0.0 on Ubuntu 18.04, and Ubuntu 20.04(fresh install, never used, but properly updated). All exhibit the same behavior. I installed all the dependencies following
