#PYTHON TEXT SCANNER TUTORIAL INSTALL#

To install pytesseract we’ll take advantage of pip. Let’s begin by getting pytesseract installed. Installing the Tesseract + Python “bindings” To download the source code + example images to this blog post, be sure to use the “Downloads” section below. Next, we’ll develop a simple Python script to load an image, binarize it, and pass it through the Tesseract OCR system.įinally, we’ll test our OCR pipeline on some example images and review the results.

This blog post is divided into three parts.įirst, we’ll learn how to install the pytesseract package so that we can access Tesseract via the Python programming language. Looking for the source code to this post? Jump Right To The Downloads Section Using Tesseract OCR with Python

By the end of the tutorial, you’ll be able to convert text in an image to a Python string data type. In the remainder of this blog post, we’ll learn how to install the Tesseract OCR + Python “bindings” followed by writing a simple Python script to call these bindings. Nevertheless, it’s important that we understand how to access Tesseract OCR via the Python programming language in the case that we need to apply OCR to our own projects (provided we can obtain the nice, clean segmentations required by Tesseract).Įxample projects involving OCR may include building a mobile document scanner that you wish to extract textual information from or perhaps you’re running a service that scans paper medical records and you’re looking to put the information into a HIPA-Compliant database. Hence, we tend to train domain-specific image classifiers and detectors. In practice, it can be extremely challenging to guarantee these types of segmentations.

You can start by choosing your own datasets or using our PyimageSearch’s assorted library of useful datasets.īring data in any of 40+ formats to Roboflow, train using any state-of-the-art model architectures, deploy across multiple platforms (API, NVIDIA, browser, iOS, etc), and connect to applications or 3rd party tools.Īs our results demonstrated, Tesseract works best when there is a (very) clean segmentation of the foreground text from the background. Sign up or Log in to your Roboflow account to access state of the art dataset libaries and revolutionize your computer vision pipeline. Roboflow has free tools for each stage of the computer vision pipeline that will streamline your workflows and supercharge your productivity. This in turn leads to improved OCR accuracy in real-world applications. We then applied the Tesseract program to test and evaluate the performance of the OCR engine on a very small set of example images.Ī dataset is instrumental for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tasks because it enables the model to learn and understand various fonts, sizes, and orientations of text. In last week’s blog post we learned how to install the Tesseract binary for Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
