python ocr tessert

Tesseract is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine that can be used with Python. It is an open-source software library for recognizing text from images or scanned documents. You can use the pytesseract library in Python to work with Tesseract OCR.

Here's a basic example of using pytesseract to extract text from an image:

import pytesseract
from PIL import Image

# Open the image file
img = Image.open('example.png')

# Recognize the text in the image
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)

# Print the extracted text
print(text)

This will extract the text from an image file named 'example.png' in the same directory as the Python script. You will need to have Tesseract OCR installed on your computer and have the pytesseract library installed in your Python environment to run this code.

There are many options and parameters you can use with pytesseract to customize the OCR process, such as specifying the language, adjusting the image preprocessing, and more. You can find more information in the pytesseract documentation.
