Is possible to get the position of every character as output?

[Renan Neri Pereira]

I want to know if is possible to have a output with position of every character that was recognized by the OCR. I know with the TSV flag I can get the position of words.

Thanks for the attention

The "makebox" options lets you see the position of each character.  So, for example, my use of tesseract is:

 

> tesseract page.tiff box/page makebox

which produces a file called box/page.box with a separate line for each character showing the character and its position:

T 987 3805 1016 3847 0
o 1000 3805 1016 3847 0
r 1015 3805 1016 3847 0

T -- the recognized character is in a box with upper left corner at (987,3805) and lower right corner at (1016,3847) on page 0.
