OMG you're making me realize how perfunctory Adobe is for 508 compliance and I love it! How anyone was expected to make documents 508 compliant with out Python suddenly seems beyond me. Thank you for this course!

Windows 11 user
Restart your computer. Sometimes you need to restart your computer for PATH changes to update in the system. I had to restart my computer for the "tesseract --version" command to work.

Tryed to include OpenCV and Tesseract OCR for Qt project as static lib, it was pain in my ass, in python it much easier

My tesseract --version was not working, but it worked after I restarted my computer, in case if you run into the same issue.

when I click on environment variables, two lists appear. User variables and system variables. in the first list, in user variables, in editing variables in Path, not as many lines appear as in your case. only windows apps and pycharm community edition. in another tutorial the instruction was in system variables. now I'm in doubt if I proceed in system variables or user variables as you demonstrated since the configuration differs from yours.

If by any chance you still check the comments, I can't find how to download tesseract on Ubuntu 22.04.2, the Illinois libray only mentions Windows and Mac. I'd be really grateful if you could help me out

[MohammedSaimQuadri]

thanks so much for the video, just wanted to clarify a thing, the current version is 5.3.3, so can I still follow the same steps with that version? or will I face issues with it? Also should I check all the additional scripts and languages during the installation of tesseract?
could you assist me with this, please

Hey, thanks a ton for making this useful content. We are trying to read nutrition labels from food containers and then classify the food into categories based on protein, carbs, fat, etc and help with education. Do you have any tips for that or could you make a video. This is for a middle school project and we are new to python so any help will be great.
