  • tesseract-ocr-for-php

    A wrapper to work with Tesseract OCR inside PHP.

    • Depends on how consistent and legible the images are. If you've got, say, a scanned page with black-on-white text, it will work fairly well with PHPOCR (http://phpocr.sourceforge.net/) or https://github.com/thiagoalessio/tesseract-ocr-for-php.
