Spacing issue when using .text() feature

Asked by TooFanHasArrived

Hello,

I am using the .text() feature to extract text from an image. In the image, the wording is as follows:

"I have a red apple and 2 oranges"

When I extract the wording and paste it in notepad, the wording appears slightly off as shown below:

"Ih ave ar ed apple and 2o ranges"

How can I fix this so that the wording appears without the spacing issues shown? Below is my code:

words = find(img.png).text()
#code for opening notepad and clicking in it
paste(words)

In reference to Sikuli OCR:

Please note the OCR technology is not perfect, especially for screen text. We believe there is still much space for tuning its performance and we are working hard to improve it. Please look forward to it.

Sorry no.
Sometime during second half this year (possibly earlier in nightly builds of version 2)

Can you help with this problem?
