Poured out on the feet of Jesus 我們傾倒耶穌腳前 This is my output from tesseract (chi_tra) (for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzIh2pamcwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzIh2pamcwU) I have just extracted the U component (YUV colorspace), binarized the image and tesseract just loves it. The players in the background are completely removed. I would probably use some background removal or some morphological operations from leptonica to make stuff more robust (instead of binarization). Of course, if tesseract does something incorrectly you can do a quick connected components in leptonica, extract the symbols and do your own OCR (manually). For chinese it's a bit of an issue because there are bunch of symbols, but for english you will be done tagging all the unique symbols in no time.
