I'm very new to tesseract so....

Is it possible to give tesseract an image and some options to choose from and get back a confidence level for each choice?

I.e. input: <image> "XYZ" "ABC"

output: "XYZ" 0.64, "ABC" 0.11

Any pointers to documentation or tutorials would be appreciated.

The 'ALTO' output (XML) contains word confidences (look for WC=0.95 etc). Other than that, you can get confidences using the base API, but that means coding.

In case you want individual character confidences (as I did), you may have to write your own 'renderer', the information is there... Confidences can be surprising.
