What's slightly weird is that the Chinese "example" text mis-reads a character in the first line. The image shows: 冬 日 平 泉 路 晚 归 But the OCR reports: 冬 日 平

What's slightly weird is that the Chinese "example" text mis-reads a character in the first line. The image shows:
冬 日 平 泉 路 晚 归
But the OCR reports:
冬 日 平 柳 路 晚 归
(Note the different character right in the middle)
- bufferoverflow 7y agoI tried using Tesseract around a year ago to recognize digits only, very clean images, not some weird font. I had thousands of images, and it failed in around 3% of them. It was so weird, as it would recognize the same digits in other images just fine. I tried 4 or 5 different OCR programs, and none of them worked well enough for my case. I was actually surprised, I thought OCR was a solved problem with ridiculously low error rates.
