Tesseract Python
Tesseract is an open-source Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine developed by Google. It allows you to convert images containing printed or handwritten text into machine-readable text. In Python, you can use the pytesseract library to interact with Tesseract and perform OCR tasks.
Before using pytesseract, you need to ensure that Tesseract is installed on your system. You can download Tesseract from the official repository: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract.
Once Tesseract is installed, you can install the pytesseract Python package using pip:
pip install pytesseract
After installing the necessary packages, you can use the following Python code to perform OCR on an image:
import pytesseract
from PIL import Image
# Provide the path to the Tesseract executable (usually 'tesseract' or 'tesseract.exe')
# pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'/path/to/tesseract'
# Load the image using PIL (Python Imaging Library)
image_path = 'path_to_your_image.png'
image = Image.open(image_path)
# Perform OCR on the image
extracted_text = pytesseract.image_to_string(image)
# Print the extracted text
print(extracted_text)
Make sure to replace 'path_to_your_image.png' with the actual path to your image file. Also, if the Tesseract executable is not in your system’s PATH, uncomment the pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd line and provide the correct path to the Tesseract executable.
Please note that the accuracy of OCR results depends on the quality of the image, the clarity of the text, and the language of the text in the image. Tesseract supports multiple languages, and you can specify the language using the lang parameter in the image_to_string function (e.g., pytesseract.image_to_string(image, lang='eng') for English).
