Changing font recognition for tesseract in iOS

Question

I am using Tesseract 3.0 in order to read digits from a seven segment display but that did not work properly. I assume the reason of that is the font of the seven segment display which is different from the usual one that is read. I was wondering if there was a way to change the font so that the results are compatible with the digits found on the 7 segment display.

Answer 1

To optimize for certain fonts you can either train tesseract for a certain font or customize the scanning method. There's really no telling which will be quicker without more details of the font and the environment you are sampling from.
