• How to Read Text From an Image with Python

  Tesseract is an open-source OCR engine developed by Google. It is highly accurate and supports multiple languages. This library will do all the heavy lifting for us. We'll use it in this tutorial to quickly read the text in some images. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• So You Decided to Extract Recipe Text From Scans of Your Grandpa's Old Cookbook Using Pytesseract (+ My Grandma's Fig Cake Recipe) (+ Hidden Recipes To Be Found)

  Install Google Tesseract OCR (additional info how to install the engine on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows). You must be able to invoke the tesseract command as tesseract. If this isn’t the case, for example because tesseract isn’t in your PATH, you will have to change the “tesseract_cmd” variable pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd. Under Debian/Ubuntu you can use the package tesseract-ocr. For Mac OS users. Please... Source: 8 months ago

• How to ingest image based PDFs into private GPT model?

  I’ve used Tesseract for this. It seems to work well with tabular data. Https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract. Source: 10 months ago

• What should I use to take notes in college?

  If you go this route, then using an app that can convert your handwritten notes to a digital format (indexed text), will give you a good balance between cognitive processing and efficient data storage/management; you can likely find many such apps on the App Store or Google Play. If you're interested in something more hands-on, on Arch you can probably experiment with Tesseract OCR in an interesting way (Example). Source: 10 months ago

• Is there any package for OCR automatic handwritten notes to text conversion available or on going?

  At work we use Tesseract (https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) for OCR processing. Our workflow is to run it on images. I haven't tried it on handwriting but would definitely be interested in exploring this further. Source: 11 months ago

  I use Tesseract, I have a shortcut set to take a screenshot pass it to OCR and then put the content in my clipboard. Source: about 1 year ago

• PDF to PNG isn't super intuitive

  PDF format is the first part of the problem. You might be slightly better off to get scanned documents as TIFF files. In theory, you could OCR them with Tesseract, if you could install on every machine and use VBA to call the API. unfortunately, no examples. Source: about 1 year ago

• Github packages/Apps that are must have for Physicists using Linux

  I have recently discovered a few very helpful github packages which help me make notes while listening to lectures. These would be 1. Pix2tex (allows you to scan an equation and convert it to latex) 2. Pix2text (allows you to scan an equation with words in it and converts it to latex and text) 3. Tesseract (not really a physics related package, but it does allow me to copy notes from transcripts easily) 4.... Source: about 1 year ago

• Does anyone here has Statement of Purpose or Motivation letter dataset ??

  I suggest manually creating a dataset using scribd.com. It offers a free trial period of 30 days, but I am uncertain whether it covers unlimited documents or not. Nevertheless, there are over one million statements of purpose (SOPs) available on the site. You could also use the Scribd downloader. Some documents may be composed of a bunch of images, so you will have to use something like Tesseract OCR. Source: about 1 year ago

• Exploring OCR and text-to-speech in FFMPEG...

  The ocr filter in ffmpeg is powered by the Tesseract library. As you will often find in ffmpeg, the build within ffmpeg has only a subset of the functionality of the original library - at least, for the moment. There's always the possibility of APIs being expanded in later ffmpeg releases. And it is open source of course, so there's the option of instigating those changes yourself - or using the original library... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Need to translate a 200 page book

  After that you would use Tesseract-OCR to OCR the pages. Tesseract is a open source multiplatform OCR software. If the typeface is something non standard you would have to train the recognition engine on your data. Source: over 1 year ago

• Similar to OpenAI tech... Does anyone know if there is an AI that converts a handwritten text in an image to text? Does OpenAI have any in his playground?

  Alternatively, look into Tesseract. Allows you to do offline/local OCR; it might be a better option if you're on a tight budget with a huge image dataset. You could also look into training Tesseract with your own annotated text images for better results if you find the base model doesn't suit your needs. Source: over 1 year ago

• Software Recommendations

  That sounds like it will almost certainly require custom scripting because your use case is unique. You can probably break down the problem into multiple steps which are easier to address. There is some decent pdf software out there that can handle OCR (optical character recognition) though barcodes specifically are a bit harder to get opensource solutions for - the main one being tesseract...
