I used tesseract for something that sounded extremely simple: OCR a date tag and a few characters identifying a large list of photos. The tag is of very high quality, white over black, a 6yo would read it flawlessly. I had to use the "old" tesseract (the new one uses ML), probably because the ML-based one was "inventing" characters or swapping them, and could not reliably identify numbers. Even with the old solution, I had to resize, apply some filters and was barely reaching 99% recognition. For something extremely clean ! So we have ways to go...
