Hi - thanks for the excellent tutorial. This really helps a lot. While running your code on the image that I have extracted from my PDF document, instead of printing the text in the image file, it is spitting out some texts as below : code : image =cv2.imread("page-12.png") cv2.waitKey(0) Output : -1 code : text = pytesseract.image_to_string(image) Print(text) output : DF Metadata Extraction with Python

Hi...I ran your code again and it is working. So you may ignore the above comment. The problem is my file has a dark background and so with the values that you have shown for adjusted threshold do not seem to be converting the background to white and the print(text) is still not showing the text embedded within the picture. My picture file is PNG - will that require a different adjustment to your code and the threshold values? Thanks - really appreciate
One issue with the Chinese text is that the first two characters are in traditional Chinese and the second two characters are the simplified. So the first time you ran it and it gave you 汉语，汉语 was correct as it converted the traditional into simplified because you used chi_sim.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. But i was wondering how it will be if there's gonna be an upload photo feature. So we dont have to change the image filename to be used everytime. Is it possible?

Tesseract has been adding arrows to each each cell in my excel spreadsheets, anyone know why that might be? It recognizes every word and number correctly but adds some kind of ‘illegal” character code that is excel displays as arrows then boxes with a question mark inside
Do you have another way to use tesseract. I want to turn my programme into executable for people who want to download it, but to make it work they need this tesseract-ocr file. So i put it into the download file but the tesseract file is too heavy ! I dont want to make my programme at 1GO because of tesseract ! Please help :c
its simple, to get only digits in a large image,, config = r'--oem 3 --psm 6 outputbase digits' digitd = pytesseract.image_to_data(img, config) when you print digits you get only digits
How can I make than the algoritm recognize Latex language? ---> pytesseract.image_to_string(img, lang = '?') . What have to use for the parameter "lang"?
Wow very good, but the problem is "If the text is very clear and crisp its is showing output correctly", But I want to know if the image has multiple data not only text for example "bills, taken calendar photo or any kind of images", How to print the string from that, I tried my self it's not printing anything, Any idea for this?

I am wondering if OCR it's a heavy process to find digits on large images?
its simple, to get only digits in a large image,,

digitd = pytesseract.image_to_data(img, config)
when you print digits you get only digits

is this possible for number plate recognition form this code ? and the language in bengal
It can't recognize number plate but it can extract the digits and alphabet after detecting the number plate with a different method
Thanx alot!!!
Please sir lang arbic text = pytesseract.image_to_string(adaptive_threshold, config=config, lang "arbic" )
ARB OR AR OR What ???
Grazie 😊
Gracias amigo, me resolviste muchas dudas.
Isn't it possible to train Tesseract to improve the reading?
Thanks
Make a video on how to build custom ocr
can you please show digit recognition ;thank in advance

when you print digits you get only digits
this helped a lot but still there is a date value that it doesn't seem to get it I don't know why to be honest
Instructions and source code link is broken.
I've just fixed it, thanks for pointing that out
