What would you recommend to use to split the columns? I think I will need to scan using tesseract column by column. So after that I will need to merge it to make correct rows.
Can you point me a direction to help me? What tools (unix compatible tools) can I use to tell tesseract to scan a specific column? Later I will recompile to test, but first I need to find a way to scan correct these reports to generate CSV files to import later to a database. If it works I will spend more time tunning tesseract. Have you ever did this before? (scan reports using tesseract or other tools to generate csv files) Thanks Em 13/03/2011, às 11:20, Dmitry Silaev escreveu: > Running via ports can cause diverse errors.
