#86 Tesseract configuration file for text of specific colour on a background colour

[Dieter van der Westhuizen]

Hi all
I need help with this please.
I'm fairly new in basic coding in AutoHotkey and have just recently been starting to use Capture2Text

I need to capture this BlueGreen text (MRN-number) on a window but really struggle to do so with various settings on Capture2Text.
The colour is always the same and always on the same window position, so I assume it could be done with a Tesseract configuration file, I just don't know how.

Background Color from Spytool: 99B5D0 (Red=99 Green=B5 Blue=D0)
Text Color: 00FFF0 (Red=00 Green=FF Blue=F0)

Recognizing the Black Text on the Pink background works easy (Episode SA-number), but I cannot get the MRN-number to be recognized. I assume the greyscale of the two colours (text and background) are just too similar.

Does someone perhaps know how to construct a simple tesseract config file to specify text colour and background colour or know how to go about recognizing this text?

I've spent hours reading on Tesseract code etc, but it's just over my head and my coding knowledge is too little to get the right info out of github.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for an amazing app! I wish I discovered this earlier in my life

A Tesseract config will not help in this case. There is very little contrast between the cyan text and the light blue background so the image preprocessing step is having difficulty extracting the text. Other than changing the color of the source, there is currently nothing that can be done from your perspective.
