How to extract text from video - images using tesseract OCR.
"Python-tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) tool for python. That is, it will recognize and “read” the text embedded in images. See also : 'Cloud Vision API' for more advanced OCR where you can use the Natural Language API to analyze the text.

Excellent video! thank you for sharing.
I'm starting a little project and this came out very useful.
I had a problem when executing the line [ text = pytesseract.image_to_string(my_example, lang="spa")] on the get_text function, I installed and reinstalled many times the pytesseract function thinking it whas a PATH issue. (as returned in my console.
Turns out that when saving the image in the process part [name = "./image_frames/frame" + str(index) + ".png"]
my compiler detected the [/f] of [/frame] as a special character and messed all up.

in the end i just changed it for [name = "./image_frames/image" + str(index) + ".png"]
in case it helps anyone trying testing this algorimthm

Existe t'il un moyen simple d'extraire l'intégralité des textes inclus dans une vidéo ? (pas l'audio, ni les sous titres générés par Youtube) sur PC ou smartphone. Impossible de trouver cet info (pourtant ca se fait facilement avec une image et de l'OCR, et une vidéo ca n'est jamais qu'une succession d'images)

Hello python 360, I am facing one problem when I am trying to divide video into frames the text in it is replicating in frames I am getting the same text extracting again and again ".Is there any best algorithm or method to divide video to frames effectively.

[acb_gamez]

Couldn't you just use FFMPEG to get the frames from the video?

Hi there! I am brand new to python, so this may be a stupid question, but how do I install libtesseract-dev? I was able to install tesseract using pip, but cant figure out how to do libtesseract. I am on a Mac, by the way. Thank you!

[zunairakhalid]

Can anybody help me if i want to convert the text from video as an audio output?

[mplinterviewhighlights]

Hi Bro, good video! i was wondering if we can just display the text where the frames between 1 and 2 (Both same) only display once instead of double? So the pattern of the frames output is instead of (1, 1, 2)
