I'm still new to Tesseract OCR and after using it in my script noticed it had a relatively big error rate for the images I was trying to extract text from. I came across Tesseract training, which supposedly would be able to decrease error rate for a specific font you'd use. I came across a website (http://ocr7.com/) which is a tool powered by Anyline to do all the training for a font you specify. So I recieved a .traineddata file and I am not quite sure what to do with it. Could anybody explain what I have to do with this file for it to work? Or should I just learn how to do Tesseract training the manual way, which according to the Anyline website may take a day's work. Thanks in advance.
For anyone that is still going to read this, you can use this tool to get a traineddata file of whichever font you want. After that move the traineddata file in your tessdata folder. To use tesseract with the new font in Python or any other language (I think?) put lang = "Font"as second parameter in image_to_string function. It improves accuracy significantly but can still make mistakes ofcourse. Or you can just learn how to train tesseract for a new font manually with this guide: http://pretius.com/how-to-prepare-training-files-for-tesseract-ocr-and-improve-characters-recognition/.
I made a video tutorial explaining the process for the latest version of Tesseract (The LSTM model), hope it helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpD76k2HYms
If you want to train tesseract with the new font, then generate .traineddata file with your desired font. For generating .traineddata, first you will need .tiff file and .box file. You can create these files using jTessBoxEditor. Tutorial for jBossTextEditor is here. While making .tiff file you can set the font in which you have train tesseract. Either you can jTessBoxEditor for generating .traineddata or serak-tesseract-trainer is also there. I have used both and I would say that for generating tiff and box files jTessBoxEditor is great and for training tesseract use serak.
This is an old question with valid answers, but if you still happen to come across this, here is a free online tool for generating the .traineddata file:

Disclaimer: I am not the author of this tool, but it did solve my problem and the precision of the generated model has been sufficient for my needs.
