Recognizing "..."

[Christen Møller]

Hi

I have a problem with Tesseract - it simply ignores three dots in sequence: "...".

So "It's ..." becomes "It's" og "9,1 ... 9,3 ... 9,7" becomes "9,19,39,7". Leaving very much manual work!

Does anybody know how to make Tesseract recognize "..."?

Best regards

The "..." is formally called an "ellipsis" and I can find nothing useful Googling except that somebody has tried using OpenCV object/feature detection to try and look for this. The only possible way I can imagine getting Tesseract to recognise an ellipsis is to train it where 3 full stops appear within a single box in the box file - something like that. But I'm not sure.
