Is there a Tesstrain instructional for dummies?  I get lost with their instructions when they ask for a ground truth.  What the hell is a ground truth lol?

Hi Evon,

I'm currently using this https://github.com/buliasz/tesstrain-windows-gui to simplify the whole training process with a simple GUI. I am also new to training.

The ground truth files are the text counterpart of your image files. Example:
foo.tif  -> image
foo.gt.txt  -> the text from the image

Sample ground truth repos for the German language :

* Handwritten text (HTR) Tagebücher Edwin Hennig:

* Printed German text: https://github.com/ubtue/gt-fraktur
* DigiTheo Ground Truth: https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/DTGT
