ocr - Does Tesseract's hOCR output really contain bounding boxes and confidence levels for each character? -


in tesseract faq can:

how can coordinates , confidence of each character?

there 2 options. if rather not programming, can use tesseract's hocr output format (read tesseract manual page details).

but when created sample hocr output (it's .html file), bounding boxes , confidence levels available at word level.

am missing here?

i've added sample input/output illustration (the input resized).

this input image:

you've seen it: isn't there.

so can either modify tesseract source code output hocr format supports x_confs property want or use resultiterator api class confidence @ character (symbol) level (be sure setvariable("save_blob_choices", "t") after init method).
