Tesseract is going to be slow, and there might not much you can do about that. You can do a couple of things, like set up a processes that run on AWS EC2 spot instances, so you can put a standing bid order on AWS instances and only run your OCR when the price drops. Or you can buy ABBYY , which is much faster. b,chris. b,chris.
