[15:59:36] <shantanoo> hi

[15:59:38] <shantanoo> anyone around

[15:59:57] <shantanoo> i am trying to create tiff file using pil

[16:00:03] <shantanoo> for unicode text

[16:00:06] <shantanoo> http://pastebin.com/4bAiwkEU - sample

[16:00:20] <shantanoo> but i am getting garbage in the output

[16:13:12] <wiredfool> shantanoo: have you tried saving it as a png?

[16:13:32] <shantanoo> wiredfool: got the issue.

[16:13:46] <wiredfool> ok

[16:13:53] <shantanoo> had to change the draw.text line to

[16:13:54] <shantanoo> draw.text((0, 50),a, font=font)

[16:13:57] <shantanoo> and it worked.

[16:14:06] <wiredfool> ah. perfect

[16:14:12] <shantanoo> it was using non-unicode font :)

[16:15:06] <shantanoo> little to question

[16:15:24] <shantanoo> anyone has tried tesseract-ocr?

[16:15:54] <wiredfool> I tried a while back, but it seemed really raw. Probably 2 years ago now

[16:17:20] <shantanoo> i am trying to train it, but not able to understand it properly.

[16:17:30] <shantanoo> was going though http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract3

[16:17:47] <shantanoo> was planning to create the tiff file using pil

[16:17:58] <shantanoo> and then passing it for training

[16:19:51] <wiredfool> not sure I can help you thee
