  I've had pretty good outcomes with Tesseract, but it's command line only and it's not even a small fraction as useful as the built in tools on Mac OS X.

• PyTesseract calculations locally or external?

  It looks like Python-Tesseract just calls the CLI for the locally installed Google Tesseract OCR Engine, so it shouldn't require any external requests.

• Is there a good/accurate OCR/Text to Image program available?
  2 projects | reddit.com/r/software | 21 Oct 2021

  The free ones seem to be all based on Tesseract. If you don't want to use the command line you can try something like Free OCR but it uses an older version of Tesseract.

  Hello u/CreativeMischief, I'm planning to add the crafting skill / reagent bonusses to the calculations soon. About the recipe data, I've got them from NWDB with the permission of the owner. The price data is from my server. I took screenshots and ran them through a tool I wrote (essentially a wrapper around Tesseract. Thank you for your feedback.

  In this case I would go the low effort route: Use tesseract (https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) to do the OCR part and "pdftotext" from the poppler utils to convert all PDFs to text. The quality should be fine. Works on Linux and most probably also natively on Windows.

  Tesseract OCR is a solid OCR tool. Looking at how it's built may inform your approach, and you may even be able to feed Tesseract's network outputs into your own model to improve it.

  The most popular open-source tool for OCR is tesseract. You can try to find dockerized REST version of it for simple use, e.g. MAX-OCR and ocr-tesseract-docker. Or take plugin for Home Assistant: seven_segments

  paperless is based on tesseract. it's an OCR library and it's very good. I made a lot of tests with it and image to text (and PDF) is very reliable.

• Coding help for scanning documents

  Reading the scanned document is called OCR (optical character recognition). Tesseract is probably the best free software to do this. There are plenty of tutorials on using it with python, a relatively easy-to-learn programming language.
