Tesseract is a freely available open source Optical Character
recognition tool which can be used for text detection in images.
Tesseract's development has been sponsored by Google is the best Open Source Optical Character Recognition available for free. Today I will be using tesseract for detecting text in Sheet Music and removing it so as to enhance OMR software that I am building. The results obtained were incredible and shows a lot of promise.Here are a few of the results.

I had used a lot of other conditions in addition to using tesseract since tesseract alone was showing detections inside the staves. I have obtained quite good results for almost all the data that I tested . I guess this gives myself a lot of motivation to proceed with this project
