“Adding” new fonts to Tesseract eng.traineddata

Question

As far as I know, Tesseract 3.x comes with 6 English (correct me if I\'m wrong) fonts. I need to train Tesseract for more 5 types of fonts. I need only capital letters and digit

Answer 1

If you have new trained data with different font, I think you don't have dictionary correction for your new font.

To add new trained data you can do this (I'm using PHP code here)

//  as you new trained data, it must be 3 letter prefix 
// what ever 3 letter you want
$languange = "eng+deu";
$settingLanguage = $tesseract -> setLanguage($language) ; 

By seeing the tesseract.php function setLanguage(), you can set the language by that function.
