Hello, I've been following a tutorial on youtube titled "Tesseract OCR - Lesson 2: Training Tesseract for new font" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v8BPw0Dn0I&ab_channel=TheCode
I'm using tesseract 4.0 on Window 10. I went through the steps he used, and everything seems to go smoothly until I get to the actual training. When I run "mftraining" the program hangs. It seems to get stuck and doesn't indicate why are what it's doing. I'm using a set of fonts in an image. I have the full alphabet upper and lower case and the numbers 0 to 9 on the png image. I've attached the image. Unlike him, I'm using the English. I don't know the font, so I'm just calling it tiktok to give it a name. My training file is called *eng.tiktok.exp0.tr * I used* jTessBoxEditor* to correct mistakes and set the box sizes and positions precisely. When I run this command: *mftraining -F font_properties -U unicharset -O eng.unicharset eng.tiktok.exp0.tr* The program just hangs. I've waited over twenty minutes. Should I wait longer? What could cause it to hang? Thanks! ...John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
