File at 1:34 is misnamed. "other" instead of "others"

Hello sir, thanks for another video, what do you think about mmocr? And how do you keep informed about new technologies, models, architectures and so on, in Computer Vision field ?

Hello. Thank you for your tutorials. What is best OCR module for the licence plates recognition for all types of plates (not like your previous video Yolov8, where you had function license_complies_format )? The car stops before a barrier opens and so that the plates is recorded at rest.

Hi, first of all I'd like to appreciate your efforts. Your works help me learn CV easily. Is it possible to do a video on handwritten text detection? We have videos on text detection on licence plates, documents etc. But handwritten detection is not done anywhere. So far all tools like paddleocr, easyocr, tesseract etc fails to capture all data correctly for handwritten text. It would be very helpful if you do a video on this. 😊

Can you make a tutorial to show us how to select an area to scan (as opposed to the whole screen/image)?

Day #4 3/26/25:
Watched the video on 2x but didn't have enough time to rewatch calmly and write the code. Looks like Tesseract returns no text for most of my images so it sucks because it took me some time to figure out why there was no output even though I tried many different ones lol

Edit: I'm a little behind on the course but finished this video

Thanks for the vid.. 🙂 But you should not show your AWS access_key and secret_access_key in an YouTube Video, it may be dangerous

could be nice to see response time performance
