How to read information from bank cheque using Tesseract?

I have a sample Cheque. I am trying to read the following

a) Branch Name (i.e. Salwa Branch)

b) Doha on (i.e. 1/7/2016)

c) Pay against this cheque to/order

d) Riyals

e) QR

f) Cheque No.

I am using Tesseract. What extra thing I need to do for getting the relevant info since I am not able to get the informations properly.

Or any other OCR SDK is there specific to this purpose...Please help

Thanks in advance.

Everything that is hand written, will not be accepted in any way. You have only chances with known or similar fonts. In your case i would analyse the complete image/tiff and than go through all blocks that are created with Tesseract.

is easy with tesseract.

Use this .net wrapper works very well.

Examples can be found on his project page.

In same cases you have to train the fonts. How you can read here:

For Number and symbols (middle bottom) is a trained font available I found by google for tesseract.
