Text Detection with OpenCV in Python | OCR using Tesseract (2020)

In this video, we are going to learn how to detect text in images. We will learn how to detect individual characters and words and how to place bounding boxes around them. We will also look at how to detect only digits.

By chance I entered last 5 years before in programming languages. You will note my background is
Accounting. For now it is sufficient that I am 75 years old man but I am learning Django, Ai,
Machine Learning and etc., Last five years I asked my instructor of Java (Note= At that time, I did not
know A, B, C of any programming but I know a sufficient knowledge about Programming - I am a lot
thankful of Respectable Great Zia Khan) that I can check cross medical bill of the any person, but he could not replay. I am very happy of this watching Video, I can solve this last 5 years dream can be solved
by python with AI Insha-Allah. Now I am trying to launch my E - Commerce Website very soon with Python,
I shall contact very soon with you for a big project Insha-Allah. Ishtiaq Ahmed Siddiqui KARACHI

Your tutorials are awesome. I already shared your channel with my students. I visited so many channels for learning opencv and out of that your videos stands out.

For windows, Instead of down manually downloading and installing just do : pip install tesseract

Awesome video. I was looking for technology that could read image captcha and extract text in the backend. Then submit text to the server without users requiring to type the captcha and your video solved my issue.

used this with a webcam to take an image and parse text from (like a piece of paper or menu on a phone), then you can take the .png snapped by the webcam and analyze with image_to_string(), takes about half a second to read text presented and the webcam's settings has to be on point with brightness and all that stuff

Hi murtaza! A question: If i only want to retrieve specific text from the image, how can i do it? i'm already have the coordinates of the text that i want to get

Thanks for the tutorial! It was very helpful for me getting a handle on OCR and Opencv for a redaction project I was working on. Now looking at fictionalizing text in an image. Ideally would like to replace words, like for an address, with different ones using the same font and size for the text. Not finding any solid examples of this that work. Would love to hear your take on how that might be accomplished.

Nice video, btw could you give me suggestion when it comes to recognize handwritten digit and then manipulate the data?? should I use OpenCV & tesseract?? or tensorflow & keras? I am still not sure about this, since im new for this application. Thank You !

23:13 " I have no idea why they did this" made me chuckle.

[johntamplin]

Good video. From 20:20 onwards you are using the variable 'x' for both the loop count and the x-dimension of the bounding box. You got lucky that it didn't impact the results of the code.

[praffulbisht]

For macUser :
first write at terminal - which tesseract 
then copy that path and paste it in tesseract cmd path


= ‘path '

Hi Murtaza,
Your videos are awesome and very detailed and easy to understand each and every part.
Can you please make a tutorial on Semantic Segmentation with Keras and tensorflow?

[silviacolabianchi]

Hi! thanks for the video. What do you think of tesseract version 5.0.0. Which one do you suggest to download? Version 4 or 5? thank you

[mabo]

hi Murtaza I have question:
I want to convert to pdf(with ocr text) only few page from multipage tif image - is it possible without any other conversion ?

multipage tif - 70 pages - but I want to convert to readable pdf pages from 10 to 20?

best regards
:)

[sooryaram]

Great video sir, I just have a small doubt. How can we detect text in live video stream using the webcam ?

[WorkHardThinkBetter]

Hi Murtaza,
Your videos are excellent. I need to ask where is 1.png since on your website I can't find it in the projects section.
Thank you so much for everything!

[nicoarasamuel]

Love the video... I've try to make a project on wich I try to send a text to a monitor, more like a power point presentation or a teleprompter app... Do you have any suggestions...or can you make a video about something like that?

[radoslavtotev]

Hey, thank you for the lesson but do you have it for linux because I want to use Raspberry pi 3 for similar project?

[fixitunes]

Awesome videos....Any plan for video on Deep Learning Chat bot in near future?

[srvanikar]

wow....mighty helpful.. Thank you Murtaza
