Macron’s recognition in Tesseract (āĀēĒīĪōŌūŪ)

[alter...@gmail.com]

Dear all,
I frequently use Tesseract (3.04) and it’s great.
Still, I can’t find a way to get Tesseract recognize macrons (āĀēĒīĪōŌūŪ).
There was a discussion here about it 5 years ago but at the time, there wasn’t much of a solution.
Things may have changed since then and I’m wondering if somebody would have some hints.
Macrons are used among other things when doing recognition from japanese transcribed in latin alphabet (rōmaji).
Thanks in advance for all possible ideas.
For now, using fra or deu as one of the language, I get ô or ö…
Best,
Nicolas

In addition to Macrons, I will also request addition of other accented letters for Indic text transliterations.

Ray, 

Will using -l eng+<new training> be the best way to handle these?

 I tried to do an add layer training, but the recognition is worse, since I did not use many fonts for the test training. I am attaching the training sample I used. Thanks.

Please see the following links for the transliteration schemes showing the letters to be included.

Here are various sites that have Sanskrit corpus in transliteration.

Did you find a solution yet? I have the same problem. Well, it's a bit worse. I also need German letters like (ÄäÖöÜü)... : |
