I am using Tesseract to do OCR for some screenshots. The characters in screenshots are in raster fonts. But Tesseract requires True Type Font or Open Type Font file for training?


So how to train Tesseract to recognize raster fonts?

I just read this thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tesseract-ocr/ZsYvAIHWumA/XVMhN7j6__sJ

They mentioned not to use tesseract for raster font recognition.

Anyway, as a workaround, I will try to find a TrueType font that is close to my raster fonts. And still train tesseract with that TrueType font.

If there's some other suggestion, please advise. Thanks.

To find the possible font, I will use: https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
