Preprocessing before OCR

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to CV, I'm doing some experiment that requires OCR, I'm ussing tesseract as the OCR Engine.

I have the following image:

I was trying applying all kind of preprocessing techniques but wasn't able to filter all the noise and have only the text.

(I'm interested in ARS, 0 - 1, TOT, 04:02)

My biggest issue is finding a way to filter those texts even though I know their color (the fact that they are gradient makes it even a bigger issue for me)

any tips/ideas on how to tackle this problem?

some example of the image after some processing (which aren't good enough as the tesseract fails with reading it): image description
