The legacy 'tesseract' engine is not supported with these files, so Tesseract's oem modes '0' and '2' won't work with them. + +Initial capitals indicate the one model for all languages in that script. Most of the script models include English training data as well as the script, but not for Cyrillic, as that would have a major ambiguity problem. + +Latin is all latin-based languages, +except vie, which has its own Vietnamese. + +Devanagari is hin+san+mar+nep+eng + +Fraktur is basically a combination of all the latin-based languages that have an 'old' variant. + See the [Tesseract wiki](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Data-Files) for additional information.
