Eugene S proposed the following answer:
First of all, I hope I understood what you are asking.

I wouldn't recommend using tesseract for menu items detection. As you
have mentioned yourself, it is not reliable. There are 2 more or less
reliable options:

1. Create a screenshot (pattern) of every item in your combobox and then
just detect it as any other Sikuli pattern.

2. In most cases, the items are more or less static, meaning that they
are not expected to disappear or their order to be changed on a regular
basis. So what you can do is just use keyboard actions to navigate to a
specific list items. For example,  if you know that a certain value is
coming second in your list, you can simulate DOWN button to be pressed
twice:

if item == "itemName1":
    type(Key.DOWN)
elif item == "itemName2":
    type(Key.DOWN)
    type(Key.DOWN)

and so on...


Of course, first you will have to select the combobox itself by clicking somewhere on it and making the items menu active.
