Tesseract-OCR, faster
Project description
PyTessy - Tesseract-OCR, faster!
This module allows faster access to Tesseract-OCR from Python scripts.
Why and when is it so fast?
PyTessy uses direct library-level access to Tesseract-OCR's core library. Therefore is it so fast in case when the image is already in the memory or when the image need to be processed before scanning with Tesseract-OCR. In case of reading and scanning existing files only PyTessy is just a bit faster than usual Tesseract-OCR Python wrappers.
Requirements
Operating system
PyTessy is operating system independent in case if you set the exact location of your Tesseract-OCR library since presently library search process is implemented on Windows only.
Python modules
PyTessy uses only modules from the Standard Library only. Python version must be >= 3.6
.
External requirements
You have to have installed or portable version of Tesseract-OCR (at least a working library and tessdata
).
You can download Tesseract-OCR from here.
