Is it possible to get the font of the recognized characters with Tesseract-OCR, i.e. are they Arial or Times New Roman, either from the command-line or using the API.
I'm scanning documents that might have different parts with different fonts, and it would be useful to have this information.
The --oem argument, or OCR Engine Mode, controls the type of algorithm used by Tesseract. The --psm controls the automatic Page Segmentation Mode used by Tesseract.
Tesseract OCR doesn't work well on handwritten texts. When passing the handwritten segment into Tesseract, we get very poor reading results. See below.
Create a Python tesseract script Create a project folder and add a new main.py file inside that folder. Once the application gives access to PDF files, its content will be extracted in the form of images. These images will then be processed to extract the text.
Language data files tessdata: The standard model that only works with Tesseract 4.0. 0. Contains both legacy engine (--oem 0)and LSTM neural net based engine (--oem 1).
Tesseract has an API WordFontAttributes
function defined in ResultIterator
class that you can use.
