Awesome, worked well for me. Thanks. I did find that the grayscaling etc made the output less accurate in my case, so I just ran the core function and got great results.

Thanks man I've been looking for a video like this on OCR for 2 days. This is so easy to understand and concise!

Did not work for me.
Could import pytesseract but when using it I receive the error
TesseractNotFoundError: tesseract is not installed or it's not in your PATH

Hey Man, great video. But please do increase the font size. There is quite a bit of unused screen space. Cheers!

This is so cool, can you compare it with PaddleOCR next time? I heard it works great in some cases, especially for the scene and document image text recognition.

NEED HELP! I am making a website where user can upload a pdf but I want that pdf to upload only if that pdf has images of only HANDWRITTEN text. Thank you for reading.

Hello thank you for the video. Is there a way to get the image preprocessed by the tesseract algorithm? When running tesseract in cmd I can get it by setting tessedit_write_images = 1, but in python I couldn't find a way to get preprocessed image.

Can we use coordinates on any application window to extract text?

Getting the following error while running the code

raise TesseractError(proc.returncode, get_errors(error_string))
(1, "Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.05.00dev with Leptonica read_params_file: Can't open txt Warning in pixReadMemPng: work-around: writing to a temp file libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.4.3 but running with 1.5.14 Error in pixReadStreamPng: png_ptr not made Error in pixReadMemPng: pix not read Error in pixReadMem: png: no pix returned Error during processing.")

what did you add in the code before line 18, because there is difference between the code you pasted at the last minute and the code you made in this video, and that difference, besides correcting some errores, is that you added other lines of code before line 18 that you didn't put in this video!
