Experiments

  • installed tesseract-ocr via homebrew onto the mac mini attached to the book scanner
  • Took a book page image from the scanner (using scan.py, which still works), and ran it through tesseract to see what it would produce.
  • We made three attempts-
    1. Original uncropped page image (img00001.jpg). Tesseract produced total gibberish (see out0.txt)
