Whitelist is not accepting special characters

[Shadya S.]

I'm using Tesseract (version 5.3.1) in Windows to recognize characters from a text that includes special characters like ñüá. Most of these characters are within the Latin script, so I've declared this in the command line.

In this image, the special characters are ñ,Ñ,á,é.

The command line I'm using is

tesseract text.png stdout --psm 6 -l Latin -c tessedit_char_whitelist=aáeéiocfhklmnñtÑ

However, the output text is missing white spaces between words, and the special characters are being completely ignored, resulting in:

aoloaalcalmoo

okonioniachillalif

Do you know why tesseract is not taking into account the characters I've declared in the whitelist? Maybe I'm not correctly specifying the special characters

Any help is greatly appreciated.

IMO there is not need to use psm and whitelist:

tesseract text.png - -l fast/script/Latin
Estimating resolution as 274
Ñato ñelo ñaña álca moño

Ñoko niño niña chillňa élif

For Windows I guess there could be a problem with UTF-8 in the terminal...
