solution to extract the text from image and get wordlevel output as dataframe

TESSERACT2DICT

Input an image and get the extracted text as a dataframe which gives the content, coordinates (x,y,w,h) and confidence of each word. Essentially, it is a wrapper on pytesseract to output a dataframe.

Prerequisites

• beautifulsoup4
• MakeTreeDir
• numpy
• opencv-python
• pandas
• pytesseract

Tesseract Installation

(currently solution works on Tesseract 5.0.0 only)

What is Tesseract?

For Windows

• installation link

adding path to path variable (for Tesseract)

• windows 10
• windows 7

For Linux

• sudo apt install tesseract-ocr
• sudo apt install libtesseract-dev

Installation

pip install tesseract2dict

Usage

A sample usage of our solution is shown below. Input an image as numpy.ndarray and the extracted dataframe at word level is returned.

eg:

import cv2
from tesseract2dict import TessToDict
td=TessToDict()
inputImage=cv2.imread('path/to/image.jpg')
word_dict=td.tess2dict(inputImage,'out','outfolder')
