Parameters to increase tolerance of whitespace between characters?

[Timothy Snyder]

Hello all,

Does anyone know of any config parameters that will increase the tolerance of whitespace between characters, i.e., increase the amount of whitespace needed to trigger word segmentation?

I have many cases in my text where there are extra whitespace between characters resulting in the segmentation of a single word into multiple words.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I joined for similar/opposite reasons:  In my case Tesseract is removing critical whitespace from between non-dictionary words, and I was looking for tips/hints as to what to tweak in Tesseract's configuration to get it to treat whitespace differently.

Anyone know?

Yes, any info would be very useful. I've tried modifying a large number of config variables to no effect with Tesseract 4.0+. Having some control over line/word/character segmentation would be a very useful feature.

Same problem in tesseract 4.1.0. Removing whitespaces. I've tried with a lot of parameters.
