Hi All,

I am new to Tesseract and am trying to understand what are its capabilities. I need Tesseract to read forms with different sections and dump data in Database.
I am not able to find any references which can tell me if Tesseract can Identify Lines and Rectangles automatically and return me its pixel locations or Coordinates.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Subhanshu Gupta

OpenCV is a better solution for that.

Tesseract uses leptonica.  Look at similar questions on github.  I may have put an example there.
