Awful results within a block text

[Kathrin- Jennifer]

Hi,

I'm currently playing around with Tesseract since the current results I get are not satisfying. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm using Tesseract 3.03 and Leptonica 1.71 (OS MAC).
TESSDATA_PREFIX is set to the installation dir of Tesseract.

The input file is attached. The other files are set as follows:

eng.user-words

the
quick
brown
fox
jumped

config

user_words_suffix user-words

The terminal command I use:

tesseract phototest.png output -l eng config

And this is the awesome output....

I also tried every - psm configuration, but none of the results was close to be useful. Any hints and ideas? Thanks in advance!

It's too small. Try resizing your image to 1000px wide and it works perfectly.

Before resize:

Thu ,5 2. m of 12 Liam! an to test the

air (an: and 522 yr n works an a“ lying;

of rm mm.

the Quxzk brown dog name over mg

my m. m muzk brown dog mmaen

over 2»: my m. m muzk brawn daa

mwen aver mg my m. m muzk

brawn my mum aver mg my fax.

After resize to 1000px wide:

This is a lot of 12 point text to test the

ocr code and see if it works on all types

of file format.

Hi Allistair,

Would you happen to know what the recommended (ideal) image size is for Tesseract 3.03? Is the suggested resolution still 300 dpi?

Thanks!

Vasin
