Hello folks

This is a bit of a long shot -- Googling hasn't helped.

Does anyone know of Linux-based / open-source software that could
automatically read the number from a runner's vest, such as the ones on
this page:

I've briefly toyed with tesseract and gocr, but they (not surprisingly)
try to interpret the whole image as text, and generate a mess of
punctuation.

100% accuracy wouldn't be required. If it can get the number for some
of the runners, that would help.

cheers

Chris
