Abstract

The Tesseract OCR engine, as was the HP Research
Prototype in the UNLV Fourth Annual Test of OCR
Accuracy[1], is described in a comprehensive
overview. Emphasis is placed on aspects that are novel
or at least unusual in an OCR engine, including in
particular the line finding, features/classification
methods, and the adaptive classifier.
