Extract Text From Images in Python (OCR)

[@StephenBeale]

Page segmentation modes: O Orientation and script detection (OSD) only 1 Automatic page segmentation with OSD. ‘ 2 Automatic page segmentation, but no OSD, or OCR. 3 Fully automatic page segmentation, but no OSD. (Default) 4 Assume a single column of text of variable sizes. 5 Assume a single uniform block of vertically aligned text. 6 Assume a single uniform block of textJ 7 Treat the image as a single text line. 8 Treat the image as a single word. 9 Treat the image as a single word in a circle. 10 Treat the image as a single character. 11 Sparse text. Find as much text as possible in no particular order. 12 Sparse text with OSD. 13 Raw line. Treat the image as a single text line, bypassing hacks that are Tesseract-specific.

Your video helped a lot than university. Thank you so much. I can't express how much it helped.

[@foxii5573]

I never thought Nacho would teach me Python

[@2ru2pacFan]

Thank you dude! Exactly what I was looking for! Suggestion, do you think you can make a video on Google Drive and Python?

[@zackjennings4355]

do you have any videos on training tesseract to better recognize say a different font?

[@borisveselov8421]

Thank you for your tutorials! I have a question: what would be the best way to extract a specific information, such as invoice number or purchase order number. Let’s say there are many different vendors, maybe over 100 vendors. And every vendor has invoice number in different parts of the document. What technique would be used to perform this kind of ocr?

[@NeuralNine]

That's quite difficult. I don't think there is a very simple solution to this. But one idea is to use regular expressions if you know the format of the numbers for each vendor.

[@borisveselov8421]

@@NeuralNine thank you. I agree that regex is a decent way to achieve this. What do you think about creating a template for each vendor?

[@MedoHamdani]

Is it possible to export it into an online document automatically, then it get checked by A.I to detect any mistakes or misspelling words, so the user can automatically and quickly fix them up one by one, by jumping from one word to another. Would this work on manuscripts such as Arabic language, and is there a way to train the machine to recognise the characters of Arabic including Tashkeel. Thanks

According to my tests, PaddleOCR works better than tesseract in most scenes.

Can I put this kind of a program on the web server, get data from webhooks, process them with OpenCV + Tesseract, and then send processed data back to the input server? Actually I mean if the tesseract and whole program can work on server environment?
