Tesseract OCR - Handwritten font


I'm trying to use Tesseract-OCR to detect the text of images with pure text in it but these text has a handwritten font called Journal.

Example:

enter image description here

The result is not the best:

Maxima! size` W (35)

Is there any possibility to improve the result or rather to get the exact result?


Solution

  • Like Andrew Cash mentioned, it'll be very hard to perform OCR for that T letter because of its intersection with a number of next characters.

    For results improvement you may want to try a more accurate SDK. Have a look at ABBYY Cloud OCR SDK, it's a cloud-based OCR SDK recently launched by ABBYY. It's in beta, so for now it's totally free to use. I work @ ABBYY and can provide you additional info on our products if necessary. I've sent the image you've attached to our SDK and got this response:

    Maximal size: lall (35)
