No, not too much, at least I'd agree with you. A lot of information about current Tesseract is there - https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/docs/tree/master/das_tutorial2016 https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/docs/tree/master/das_tutori... . Tesseract is trainable, even though the bulk of capabilities came from algorithms designed well before deep learning became popular. One of slides mentions that it's puzzling that Tesseract is "winning" over modern ML attempts to solve OCR. However, latest developments - adding LSTM networks to Tesseract - are reported to be promising. Wonder when they'll become available on the Github...
