piltesseract 0.0.2

Image-to-text Tesseract command line wrapper.

# PILtesseract Simple Tesseract wrapper for converting PIL Images to text.

Warning: PILtesseract is intended to only work with tesseract 3.03+, one awesome feature added in 3.03 is the ability to pipe images via stdin, PILtesseract utilizes this feature.

Here is a simple example:

>>> from PIL import Image
>>> from piltesseract import get_text_from_image
>>> image = Image.open('quickfox.png')
>>> get_text_from_image(image)
'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'
