Single Character recognition help

[Jason Bush]

Im trying to use tesseract on the Raspberry Pi to recognize single characters.

I have luck with whole sheets but not with single characters and Im not very familiar with the programming.

Im running 3.0.3

I need the most dumbed down version of how I can improve my single character recognition.

I already make the pics black and white. Ive tried changing the size and quality and nothing works.

Please help

Try an appropriate PSM, 10, perhaps.
