Book scans which is what it was designed for.
If you read the fine manual you would see that they suggest the _minimum_ resolution to run it over is an x-height of 20 pixels, screens have seldom have one higher than 10 pixels. With those settings I got the following out of OPs comment:
I've been really impressed with Tesseract - I used it last month to add invisible OCR text (1) to scanned PDFs I reference a lot. My scans
are quite good, but I was still impressed with the accuracy.
I also OCRed the TOC, playing with the page segmentation setting (2) in the terminal until I got output I could copy & paste to adda
navigable table of contents.
