Low DPI means game over?

I'm struggling to get the square footage of the attached floor plan image.

It partially works. Tesseract returns "1474 SQ" but I am hoping for the full string "1474 SQ.FT."

$ tesseract --version
tesseract 4.1.0
 leptonica-1.78.0
  libgif 5.1.4 : libjpeg 9c : libpng 1.6.37 : libtiff 4.0.10 : zlib 1.2.11 : libwebp 1.0.3 : libopenjp2 2.3.1
 Found AVX2
 Found AVX
 Found SSE

Is my image simply too low of a DPI and nothing can be done to enhance this result?

I've tried greyscale, invert and scaling the image and couldn't improve the result.

Can anyone improve the results for the attached image? If so how?

Which part are you trying to OCR? There's a lot of non-text likely interfering with recognition.

Hey Timothy, the bit I’m interested in is the bit that shows the total square footage at the bottom. I’m trying to extract the 1474.
