Many people found shapeclustering helped improve the quality of generated traineddata files; therefore, it was decided that the step is always included in the training process in jTessBoxEditor, even for non-Indic languages. To not run it would require a code change to the program.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
shapeclustering should not be used except for the Indic languages.
shapeclustering -F font_properties -U unicharset lang.fontname.exp0.tr lang.fontname.exp1.tr ...
shapeclustering creates a master shape table by shape clustering and writes it to a file named shapetable.

Is there an option which can be used to not NOT run the shapeclustering step when running training?
