Does Tesseract work correctly with BMP files, or it is limited only to
TIF files ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, tesseract works  fine  with bmp files as well as tif files.  I am using only bmp file image for training  etc.

Don't you need lib tiff enabled for bmp?

I don't know much about lib tiff (perhaps used in Linux). I am using  Paint Brush of MSwindows platform  as a normal way.
