Answer 1

I was able to increase the number of correct decimals by using the methods mentioned in the other answers. Yet, a small share of the decimals were not recognized correctly.

The solution I found was to change the language setting for pytesseract.

I was using a non-English setting, but changing the config to lang='eng' fixed all remaining issues.

Not sure what the reason is, but with the new LSTM engine for Tesseract, the training data is probably mostly English.
