Best export method

[Dayton]

Hi All,

I´m using Tesseract for Windows to OCR scanned documents and then format the layout in Word in a later stage.

The text extraction that I get in the .TXT output does not add any hard return or any separation between paragraphs, so I have to spend many time to guess where are the end of each line.

Is there any way to add a parameter in the line code to add separations between paragraphs?

Should I use another output format instead of TXT in order to make easier the formatting in Word?

Thanks!

Checkout output to hocr (which is html output), tsv or pdf. See doc.

I have output to hocr and tsv but I still get the all text without hard return or any separation between paragraphs.

Is there an HOCR tool which allows to export to Microsoft Word?

The original document is in PDF format. It´s actually an official document. 

First, I run ImageMagick and got a cleaned TIFF file.

After that, I run Tesseract, so I think it does not make sense to back convert the TIFF to PDF again. 

I simply need an export format from Tesseract that allows MS Word to see the text properly, not with lines of code.

Thanks!

Take a look at gimagereader, which uses tesseract . It has the options you are looking for.
