Improve image for Tesseract OCR

Post by nicholas9950 »

I am trying to use ImageMagick to improve the quality of image to be read by Tesseract OCR.
I am trying to blur the image background but improve the text so that the OCR can read the text easily.
Do you guys have any idea how to do it?

What version of IM and what platform? You should always provide that information!

If you are on Linux/Mac OSX or Windows with Cygwin, see my unix shell script, textcleaner, at the link below
