    Perform OCR on a list of images using Tesseract.

    Parameters:
    - piclist (list): List of image file paths.
    - tesser_path (str): Path to the Tesseract executable.
    - add_after_tesseract_path (str): Additional parameters to add after the Tesseract path.
    - add_at_the_end (str): Additional parameters to add at the end of Tesseract command.
    - processes (int): Number of parallel processes for image processing.
    - chunks (int): Number of chunks to divide the image list for parallel processing.
    - print_stdout (bool): Whether to print standard output during execution.
    - print_stderr (bool): Whether to print standard error during execution.

    Returns:
    - pd.DataFrame: A DataFrame containing parsed OCR results.
