Description

Environment

  • Tesseract Version: 3.04.01
  • Platform: both on Debian Linux Buster (testing) and Windows 7 64bit

Current Behavior:

In hOCR mode words bound by the / sign are regarded as one word.

Expected Behavior:

The / sign, the word before and after should be regarded as a word on its own each.

Suggested Fix:

Define the / sign as a word delimiter.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for where word delimiter characters are defined in Tesseract's source code, e.g., in the wordrec or ccutil directories, and add '/' to the list.
