Swarmauri OCR Pytesseract

OCR adapter for Swarmauri built on top of PyTesseract. Accepts paths, bytes, or PIL images, and exposes synchronous, async, and batch APIs for extracting text.

Features

Wraps Tesseract OCR via PyTesseract behind Swarmauri's OCRBase interface.
Supports multiple languages (language parameter) and custom Tesseract configs.
Handles individual, async, and batched OCR calls with optional concurrency limits.
Helper to list installed Tesseract languages through get_supported_languages().

Prerequisites

Python 3.10 or newer.
Tesseract OCR installed on the host (tesseract binary reachable on PATH or via TESSERACT_CMD).
pytesseract, Pillow, and related dependencies (installed automatically with this package).

Installation

# pip
pip install swarmauri_ocr_pytesseract

# poetry
poetry add swarmauri_ocr_pytesseract

# uv (pyproject-based projects)
uv add swarmauri_ocr_pytesseract

Quickstart

from swarmauri_ocr_pytesseract import PytesseractOCR

ocr = PytesseractOCR(language="eng")
text = ocr.extract_text("docs/invoice.png")
print(text)

Processing Image Bytes

from pathlib import Path
from swarmauri_ocr_pytesseract import PytesseractOCR

png_bytes = Path("receipts/ticket.png").read_bytes()
ocr = PytesseractOCR(language="eng", config="--psm 6")
print(ocr.extract_text(png_bytes))

Async and Batch APIs

import asyncio
from swarmauri_ocr_pytesseract import PytesseractOCR

ocr = PytesseractOCR(language="fra")

async def run_async():
    text = await ocr.aextract_text("scans/document_fr.png")
    print(text)

    texts = await ocr.abatch([
        "scans/page1.png",
        "scans/page2.png",
    ], max_concurrent=2)
    for page, content in enumerate(texts, start=1):
        print(f"Page {page}: {content[:80]}")

# asyncio.run(run_async())

List Available Languages

from swarmauri_ocr_pytesseract import PytesseractOCR

ocr = PytesseractOCR()
print(ocr.get_supported_languages())

Tips

Set TESSERACT_CMD if the binary lives outside standard locations (e.g., Windows installs).
Use appropriate page segmentation modes (--psm) and OCR engine modes (--oem) through the config parameter to improve quality.
Pre-process images (grayscale, thresholding) before passing them to the OCR for better accuracy.
When running in containers, ensure Tesseract language packs (.traineddata) are installed for the languages you plan to use.
