I have been trying with some success to have tesseract recognize text from iPhone's about screen.
I have applied various contrast / brightness tweaks, removed blue from the images, converted to grey, and stretched to 4x actual size. Using --psm 6 with -l que gives good results, but not consistently. I've also had to add logic to vary the pre-image processing by model and ios version as there are subtle differences that throws off the ocr.
Has any worked out a way to do this in a consistent way?
