Thanks, yes i had looked at that. I began by expanding the image by 5x to get the characters to about 50 pixels high (vs about 8 initially). My initial tests generated a tessinput.tif that looked very good to my eye, but did not work for the OCR. I ended up also doing: - posterize to level 2 to reduce the colors - dilate, to reduce the thickness of the characters But this still was not working.
I suspect the single characters and the lines between are causing issue. I had tried several of the many settings in the config file hoping to figure out ones that would work but got nowhere and seemed to be shooting in the dark. As i am unfamiliar with these many settings and did not find details on the meaning of many of them, my question was hoping to find some ideas on which ones might be helpful. In the end i have defined rectangles for the position of each character, then copy all these rectangles to a new image placing characters in nice rows. This worked on the sample image i have but i do not yet have additional samples to see if it works on them. I had hoped to avoid coding the detail for the exact position of the characters and that it might read them as is. Will see later when more samples arrive if this is a workable solution.
