title: ocr using a command line tool
body: <p>I'm looking for a windows command line tool that does OCR. Specifically I'm trying to extract the number from this image:

  <p>I've tried tesseract and found it quite poor imho. Perhaps it needs settings that I'm not aware of. I've tried a few others and they too were pretty poxy. Some of the online ones were quite good but I really need it to be a command line.</p>
  
  <p>I would really appreciate posts that accurately extract the number from the image in the link above.</p>
  
  <p>many thanks,
  Fidel</p>
  
  <p>p.s. I could do some very simple image processing like converting it to blank and white etc.</p>
