How to Detect Text in OpenCV [Python]

[@jasemshark1917]

I like your funny words magic man

[@ghzich017]

Thanks! Nevee thought it was this easy

[@FlimzyYT]

absolute legend.

[@yungbazerk]

its been so long man Great job man im the guy who said make a video where the bot edits ur videos or

[@lucaspadilha6721]

awesome, I really like how you explain so clearly this topics! can you do a video to show how to work with database, for example: identify a pen when it pass to specific area?

[@CreepyD246]

Never worked with databases before, but I'll do my research and hopefully one day bring an awesome tutorial, just got demotivated to do KZbin recently but I'm working on getting back soon, thanks man :D

[@AlfSune]

Hello, what changes do I make so I can detect texts in real time with a camera? Thank you 😓

[@eljangoolak]

hmmm not sure if i wanna download from a link by creepyD, but on a serious note, cool video

[@ibrahimimohssine8131]

hey thank you for this smart explication, could i use this to identity card text detection.

[@CreepyD246]

Like for play cards (hearts, spades, and such)? If yes, then sure, it's possible, but my tutorial only checks for normal text, like this comment. You can do some research about haarcascades in OpenCV, and then also research how to make your own haarcascades (this will help with detecting your own custom stuff). If you were talking about credit cards and such, then this tutorial should work. (Any card with just normal text and no other abnormal symbols/shapes/icons should work)

[@0kjack102]

Is it possible to read text off your actual screen while it's changing?

[@inertiaarch3798]

ur a genius bro sheeeeesh 😳

[@CreepyD246]

Haven't seen your name in a while man, good to see it again, and thanks xD

[@Priyanka-xh9gs]

This doesn’t work if there are indentations in the line like when u start a new paragraph, how would we get that to work, thanks!

[@SchallCF]

hey, thanks for the tutorial. could i calculate with help of the coordinates from the boxes the font size in pixels or points? cheers

[@MrTerrorblade]

Hi, ive tried scanning a document and converting it to png format but it could not detect anything. Wondering if u could help

[@balahuraadrian9342]

Hi and thank you for your tutorial. Is it possible to use instead of a image a video streaming?

[@CreepyD246]

Yes, but you would need to change a few things, instead of using a single image, you need to use OpenCV's VideoCapture function, just search it up on KZbin, it's too complex to explain in a single comment, sorry man :(

[@balahuraadrian9342]

@@CreepyD246 Now that is a good idea for your next tutorial. I think lots of people would like this. There's not much info on live feed text recognition. Have a nice evening.

[@Tansuo-Zhe]

Nice Vid! i Subscribed lol! :D

[@atnguyenduy9933]

Can you export the location of texts in a image ? Example in this video: 'big' includes 4 corners. Outputfile will have: x0,y0,x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3, big and pp,small,pp,12,3 respectively. Thanks !

[@CreepyD246]

Yes :D In the for loop, we set x y w h variables, after wr have set them you can just go ahead and write them into a file, let me know if you still have any questions

[@atnguyenduy9933]

@@CreepyD246 Oh thank you very much, Could you show me this code? It is still difficult for me to think how to code

[@dicololiviu2818]

pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = "C:\\Program Files\\Tesseract-OCR\\tesseract.exe" image_data = pytesseract.image_to_data('urphoto.pmg', output_type=Output.DICT) for i, word in enumerate(image_data['text']): if word == required_word: x, y, w, h = image_data['left'][i],image_data['top'][i],image_data['width'][i],image_data['height'][i] center_x = x + int(w / 2) center_y = y + int(h / 2) points = (center_x, center_y)

[@gamerb-fz1oj]

does this support handwritting detection?, probably not but i hope it does

[@CreepyD246]

I guess it does, but only if it's nicely done so that the computer sees each letter seperated, as well as nicely written

[@gamerb-fz1oj]

@@CreepyD246 NOPE, does not, well in my case it does not, and I just want to translate a huge letter written on a black image, when i wrote the letter C it gave me the output: "The white egg" is white" Idk what this library sniffed but i bet it was good

[@CreepyD246]

You'd have to use another method then, you could maybe train and create a haarcascade to detect handwritten letters

[@gamerb-fz1oj]

@@CreepyD246 yeah i got a lot to learn. Just recently got into open cv, thanks tho

How come you switched to sublime?

[@CreepyD246]

I just wanted to test out some new text editors lmao

[@divad2237]

Nice video 👏

[@ZeusKabooze]

Can anyone point me in the right direction of making up a script where it detects a colour, if the colour is true it will then activate a macro key?

i need the same thing but cant find it

[ NOTE ] in your tutorial in the third line no r"filename" why you can run it successfully .and me follow your code always get error I spend maybe 4h to fix this r" ". but no metter how thanks you so much for make a small light to make us go forward it really helpfull .

[@CreepyD246]

Sorry about your struggles. Have you downloaded pytesseract and given the correct path?

[@8king274]

@@CreepyD246 Yes brother I copy path the same as you do it your toturail but just if me don't put r"path" it geting error 🤣

[@senthilramana]

I have a series of numbers in my image at the bottom. Sample 5095 2974 6032 The print(img["text"]) shows the following result. ['', '', '', '', 'saee', 'Quiet', '', '', '', ' ', '', '', '', '8g', '98a', '/', 'DOB', '25:.05/19%', '', '|', 'age', '(Mate', '', '', '', '5095', '2974', '6032', '', '', '', ''] I need to mask the 5095 and 2974 and leave the 6032 and save the image after masking. could you please guide me? Thanking you in advance
