PyTesseract not recognizing decimal points

[Andrew]

As per my question on StackOverflow:  PyTesseract not recognizing decimals

I'm using PyTesseract to recognise text in table cells. When it comes to recognising drug doses with decimal points, the OCR fails to recognise the period character ( . ) , though is accurate for everything else. I'm using tesseract v5.0.0-alpha.20200328 on Windows 10.

My pre-processing consists of upscaling by 400% using cubic, conversion to black and white, dilation and erosion, morphology, and blurring. I've tried a decent combination of all of these (as well as each on their own), and nothing has recognized the .

I've tried --psm of various values as well as a character whitelist. I believe the font is Sergoe UI.

PyTesseract output: 25mg »p

Have you tried cropping the image to remove the arrowhead to see if that improves the result?
