I have a problem with the training/text recognition process with Tesseract. Here is my trainingdata: http://s11.postimg.org/867aq10ur/dot_dotmatrixfont_exp0.png While training Tesseract ignores the dashes (I've marked them with red boxes, just to make it clear which ones I mean) and if I'm using the trained data for text recognition it also ignores them. Today I've played around with the Tesseract parameters (SetVariable(name, value)) but unfortunately I had no success. What can I do to teach Tesseract those dashes? Thank you in advance!

Tesserect training is pretty tricky.
Your best chance might be to handle the dashes as a single char. If your box editor or whatever tools you are using does not see the dashes as all, try running some image processing first, especially threshold or invert. try taking a look at OpenCV. They have some excellent tool for this kind of image processing.
