python tesseract code example

Example 1: pytesseract

pip install pytesseract

Example 2: pytesseract configs

Page segmentation modes:
  0    Orientation and script detection (OSD) only.
  1    Automatic page segmentation with OSD.
  2    Automatic page segmentation, but no OSD, or OCR.
  3    Fully automatic page segmentation, but no OSD. (Default)
  4    Assume a single column of text of variable sizes.
  5    Assume a single uniform block of vertically aligned text.
  6    Assume a single uniform block of text.
  7    Treat the image as a single text line.
  8    Treat the image as a single word.
  9    Treat the image as a single word in a circle.
 10    Treat the image as a single character.
 11    Sparse text. Find as much text as possible in no particular order.
 12    Sparse text with OSD.
 13    Raw line. Treat the image as a single text line,
                        bypassing hacks that are Tesseract-specific.

Example 3: text recognition python library

import cv2 
import pytesseract

img = cv2.imread('image.jpg')

# Adding custom options
custom_config = r'--oem 3 --psm 6'
pytesseract.image_to_string(img, config=custom_config)
