If you encounter an error while importing image_to_string from tesseract, it's crucial to verify the syntax and the module installed.
The image_to_string function is a part of the PyTesser module and not python-tesseract. Ensure your import statement aligns with the module you have installed.
If you're using PyTesseract, you can modify the module to use PIL instead of Image:
from pytesseract import image_to_string from PIL import Image im = Image.open(r'C:\Users\user\Downloads\dashboard-test.jpeg') print(image_to_string(im))
Alternatively, you can install the required packages:
pip3 install pytesseract pip3 install pillow
For Windows users, you may also need to install tesseract-ocr and add the path to the tesseract.exe executable:
from PIL import Image
from pytesseract import image_to_string
print(image_to_string(Image.open('test.tif'),lang='eng'))
If you're still facing issues, try adding the following line to your code:
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe"
