Yes, this should certainly be better if you send us one or more example images. Adding to what have already been said, one thing can be noted for sure: Tesseract tries to treat everything as a known character, even schematics or line art. These formations usually appear as garbage in the output. To get rid of this effect you should manually or programmatically extract input image areas containing solely text and supply them to Tesseract.
