Any way to prevent contextual digits<->letters flipping ?

Hi everyone,

tesseract seems to sometime use the closest characters to "guess" what will be the next one.

Let me explain that with an exemple:

I want to parse a picture that contains the following sequence of characters
SE3P-104168
but most of the time the output will be
SESP-104168

I believe tesseract is flipping the "3" to a "S" because the closest characters are alphabetical and it seems more "logical" to have a chain of alphabetical characters but I would like to keep the "3" !
I am also attaching the picture I am parsing so you can see that it really looks like a "3" and it is not close to a "S".

If anyone has an idea about solving that problem it would be quite helpful.
I am playing with psm 8 FYI.

Thank you.

Hi,

I haven't tried it, but quickly grepping around the source code
suggests setting the config variable "crunch_include_numerals" to
true might do the job.

Please let us know if that works.
