Nice video! Thanks

Is there a GUI that you recommend to use in windows?

How are you, do you know how can I include the tesseract OCR executable in my python executable file? That way when I distribute my executable other users can use the OCR without installing the machine on their device.

Hello, please I would like to know how to improve the precision of tesseract without labeling. I am currently working on an invoice ocerization project, and the problem I encounter is that I have a huge variety in the format of my invoices, I would say nearly 4000 to 5000 different formats, and the problem I encounter with my OCR (I use tesseract) is that it extracts the raw text without taking into account that it is an invoice (the zones etc...), it retrieves the information line by line, I cannot label it given the number of invoice formats, what do you offer me for this? Can bert or spacy be useful in this case?
