German "Straße" is often "StraBe" (tesseract 4.0)

[Thomas Güttler]

I use tesseract 4.0 via docker (tesseractshadow/tesseract4re)

Very often tesseract detects "StraBe" instead of "Straße".

Yes, I use -l=deu

The word "Straße" is very common in german. It means "street".

Since "StraBe" makes no sense I would like to improve this.

What do you suggest?

Please try with script/Latin traineddata to see if you get better results.

I have added your comment to issue at https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata/pull/54

A work-around could be easily implemented with a sed script.

yes, you could use sed, awk or python to do post processing. I know how to use regexs.

I would like to improve tesseract, since this helps several people, not just me.

Hi Shree,

what do you mean with "script/Latin traineddata"? I am new to tesseract and use version 4.0 via docker.

Most internet pages are about tesseract 3.0.x.

I am unsure where to start.

Maybe it is better to use 3.0.x?

Regards,

  Thomas

Latin.traineddata can be found under script folder.

I found the root of the problem: correct is "-l deu" but I used "-l=deu".

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/50601305/633961

And I created an issue: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/issues/1616
