is there a way to scan only first word of a page?

[Vikas Sharma]

Hello guys,

I am trying to identify page category by recognizing the only first word on a page, but the pages can have much more text so it is taking so much time. I just wanted to limit scanning to one word only. I have tried psm option but no luck there.

Simple answer is: no - you can not limit OCR to first word.

But you can restrict area for OCR via unz file (search forum that). If you know that your image must have text in some part of image, you can define area of your interest in unz  file.

Hi,

if the page has a fixed simple format you can crop the image leaving only the upper part. You can use imagemagick or a python script, etc.
