		peterburkimsher on Dec 22, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Advanced Image Manipulation and Data Extraction SmartTextExtraction looks like exactly what I need! However, I have to be able to run offline. How can I download it and run the algorithm locally? Tesseract gave me pretty poor results, probably because I'm using photos of printed pages instead of flatbed scans.

I have never achieved reliable results with Tesseract regardless of image quality.

did you tried pre processing the images before giving it to tesseract? i had very good results after pre processing the images.
