 * The box file is assumed to contain box definitions, one per line, of the
 * following format for blob-level boxes:
 * @verbatim
 *   <UTF8 str> <left> <bottom> <right> <top> <page id>
 * @endverbatim
 * and for word/line-level boxes:
 * @verbatim
 *   WordStr <left> <bottom> <right> <top> <page id> #<space-delimited word str>
 * @endverbatim
 * NOTES:
 * The boxes use tesseract coordinates, i.e. 0,0 is at BOTTOM-LEFT.
 *
 * <page id> is 0-based, and the page number is used for multipage input (tiff).
 *
 * In the blob-level form, each line represents a recognizable unit, which may
 * be several UTF-8 bytes, but there is a bounding box around each recognizable
 * unit, and no classifier is needed to train in this mode (bootstrapping.)
 *
 * In the word/line-level form, the line begins with the literal "WordStr", and
 * the bounding box bounds either a whole line or a whole word. The recognizable
 * units in the word/line are listed after the # at the end of the line and
 * are space delimited, ignoring any original spaces on the line.
 * Eg.
 * @verbatim
 * word -> #w o r d
 * multi word line -> #m u l t i w o r d l i n e
 * @endverbatim
 * The recognizable units must be space-delimited in order to allow multiple
 * unicodes to be used for a single recognizable unit, eg Hindi.
 *
 * In this mode, the classifier must have been pre-trained with the desired
 * character set, or it will not be able to find the character segmentations.
