What is the proper format of the word list file for training tesseract?

[Sim Tov]

Hello,

it is written in the documentation/Creating Starter Traineddata:

https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/tess4/TrainingTesseract-4.00.html#creating-starter-traineddata

that an "optional word list files" can be supplied for the training purpose.

1. what is the proper format for this file?

2. is there an example of such a file online?

3. can a standard MySpell/HunSpell/etc. dictionary be used for this purpose? If yes - what formats are supported?

Thank you in advance!

Zdenko, thank you very much!

1. As far as I understand eng.wordlist is just a plain text file with a single word per line. Am I correct regarding the formal format?

2. Is this file is used *only* to generate synthetic texts to teach Tesseract a new language,

or

Is this vocabulary *also* used by Tesseract to guess (in case of a doubt) during word recognition? Or are spell checker dictionaries are used for this purpose and not eng.wordlist?

Thank you!
