The maintainer is Zdenko 1.17 +Podobny. 1.18 +For a list of contributors see AUTHORS and GitHub's log 1.19 +of contributors. 1.20 + 1.21 +Tesseract has unicode (UTF-8) support, and can recognize 1.22 +more than 100 languages "out of the box". 1.23 + 1.24 +Tesseract supports various output formats: plain text, 1.25 +hOCR (HTML), PDF, invisible-text-only PDF, TSV. 1.26 +The main branch also has experimental support for ALTO 1.27 +(XML) output. 1.28 + 1.29 +You should note that in many cases, in order to get better 1.30 +OCR results, you'll need to improve the quality of the 1.31 +image you are giving Tesseract.
