    Yes, pytesseract is a wrapper script and all heavy lifting is done by Tesseract. See the README.

    As far as working with reading text from a image there are lots of different libraries for doing this sort of thing, but one of the biggest is probably pytesseract. It is extremely powerful for image to text, and reliably beats alphabet soup captchas.
  • Extract Highlighted Text from a Book using Python
    4 projects | dev.to | 22 Feb 2022
    I'm going to use the Tesseract OCR engine and library, and its Python wrapper PyTesseract for text extraction. But there are numerous libraries out there to extract text from an image. In a real world application I would probably use cloud services from AWS, Google or Microsoft to handle this task.

    There's Python Tesseract to do the OCR from python. I think this is not really a beginner's project. Not too much programming, but you need to be able to install the required libraries and glue everything together. If you don't know how to do that maybe start with something simpler.

    From what I have heard, tesseract is the best python module for OCR
  • exporting handwritten dataset as text, export it and use it as a csv
    3 projects | /r/RemarkableTablet | 16 Sep 2021
    Yeah, I’m pretty sure the Remarkable OCR is not up to these kinds of tasks unfortunately. If you know some coding you could write something that’d likely work well in Python using for ex. this for receiving the mail attachment and this for converting the PDF to CSV. This is in case you’d write your data as a table on the Remarkable, which I guess is preferable to writing something like (0.5, 8.4, -0.3). If you’d rather do it that way, there are other more suitable OCR tools like this one. The checkbox use-case in the comment above would also be possible by modifying this approach. DM if you’d like to discuss further work.

    pytesseract - Python-tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) tool for python. That is, it will recognize and "read" the text embedded in images. Python-tesseract is a wrapper for Google's Tesseract-OCR Engine. It is also useful as a stand-alone invocation script to tesseract, as it can read all image types supported by the Pillow and Leptonica imaging libraries, including jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff, and others. Additionally, if used as a script, Python-tesseract will print the recognized text instead of writing it to a file.
  • Using Google's OCR API with Puppeteer for Visual Testing
    1 project | dev.to | 8 Feb 2021
    There are multiple open-source OCR tools like pytesseract or EasyOCR, which can be used to integrate OCR functionality into a program. However, these tools require significant configurations to get up and running to provide results with an acceptable accuracy level.
