Hi,

I have been using fscrawler and tesseract-ocr to process pdfs and I realized that images that are rotated or slightly titled cannot be OCR-ed well.

Is there a way to add a rotation element into the fscrawler/tesseract-ocr pipeline so that I may increase my chances of a better OCR-ed image?

Thanks!

Karen

I don't think there's such an option but I'll be happy to add it if you find it.
