Using Tesseract to read numbers shown to webcam, but it doesn't recognize text in most frames. I've spent days tuning the pre-processing options, and though my images are more readable than ever, Tesseract is less accurate than it was with worse images

  • tesserocr

    A Python wrapper for the tesseract-ocr API

  • If you actually do want to use tesseract here I’d suggest tesserocr instead of PyTesseract as it allows you to pass in an opencv frame directly, and you can start up the engine at the start of your script and just change the current image (should run a decent amount faster than saving the image to disk and then starting up tesseract in a subprocess for each image analysis).
