I'm having a bizarre problem with Tesseract. I have a name, "Janice" that is in a 200x40 pixel tiff, that Tesseract interprets as a blank.

Also it would be use on very short texts. I'm currently thinking of adapting tesseract to iphone and android. I wonder if anyone has had any related ...
I'm using Tesseract in one of my applications, and I'm having trouble obtaining perfect results. When I use the library on a perfect screenshot, it gets most of the text and that's fine. But when I use it on a photo for example, it has trouble working it out, and sometimes it won't even return anything. I know you can train Tesseract, ...

The application seems fairly easy to use, but I am struggling finding the documentation that will help me make the most of it.
