Eugene S proposed the following answer:
Hi,

Sikuli embedded OCR does not play well with computer rendered text.
However in your case, it's even more complicated, due to several issues:

1. Not black on white text - this is what Tesseract expects and works best with
2. Multicolored background - same reason as above
3. Can't cut the digit without the background - so the same digit will not be matched if the background changes.

The only thing I could think about is to take screenshots of each digit
and maybe to enclose a region around a number and then try to detect the
number by working with digit's locations. But since issue #3 I mentioned
above that might not work either.


Cheers,
Eugene
