Hi Jephthah,
*Creating a starter traineddata: * You need: 1. *unicharset*: you can prepare it by hand. You can take the English sample and modify it. 2. *script*: if the language is written in Latin, you can download the latin script from the tesseract GitHub repo ( https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata_lstm). If the language uses Cyrillic <https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata_lstm/blob/main/Cyrillic.unicharset>, you download the respective script. *The following are optional: * *3. word*: if you want add word list, you can create a word list. *4. number*: if you have patterns where numbers appear *5. punc*: if you have pattern where punctuations appear. (a 6th one is the redical stroke file. You can download it from the above repot. But, my experience is that tesseract creates it automatically.) Assume the name of your language is *Jephthah*: you are going to organize those files as: jep.unicharset jep.word jep.pun jep.num You put these files together in one folder (call it *langModel* for simplicity). You create other folders such as *script* and myOutput inside *langModel* folder . And, then point your terminal to the langModel folder and run *combine_lang_model --input_unicharset jep.unicharset --script_dir script --output_dir myOutput --lang jep --words jep.word --puncs jep.punc --numbers jep.number* That will produce a traineddata file:* jep.traineddata *inside myOutput folder. That is your starter traineddata.
