Hi Djibril,
I am afraid that this is an old topic and he may not work with invoices 
anymore. I am also interested in extracting information from invoices. Have 
you tried to use tesseract with a dictionary
to improve accuracy? Because invoices have some particular data fields. You 
can see the manual here: 
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/master/doc/tesseract.1.asc#config-files-and-augmenting-with-user-data
Tell me if you have better result. I will also tell you if I have.
Best,
