Realtime Text Detection in Images using Tesseract | OpenCV | Python | Tutorial for beginners

This video contains stepwise implementation for converting images to text data using tesseract and OpenCV
1) Installation of necessary libraries, i.e. tesseract, OpenCV,
2) Stepwise implementation of python code for
1) Image to Text conversion
2) display boxes on images for text detection
3) Video processing
4) Realtime Webcam demo
In this video, we do not train any deep learning model rather we only used tesseract.
For downloading setup for tesseract installation, follow the link

In case you want to build your own model, we strongly recommend you to watch our other video for extreme beginners such as to create your own model to classify handwritten digits, link is provided

[swarnamappetimg]

you are the best thank you sooo sooo much. it was like a cakewalk to get the contents . can you also share how to draw bounding boxes around the text in the checked fields

Hi. I have a video in which the serial key is floating randomly. so I need a python code that detects the serial key automatically throughout the whole video and blurs the key. Can you help me with it?

nice tutorial thanks but I've tried this before and it fails to detect every char there is is there any solution to make it more accurate ? or maybe any other package ?

[lorenzoprati]

Thanks for this tutorial, it's great! I have a question: I am working on a Mac, everything up to `plt.imshow(img)` works fine and I can display my image but then `img2char = gives me an 'Unsupported Image Object' error... any ideas why that might be?
