tesseract-ocrHow can I use Tesseract OCR in MATLAB?

Tesseract OCR can be used in MATLAB to perform optical character recognition (OCR) on images. Here is an example of how to use Tesseract OCR in MATLAB:

% Install tesseract OCR
[status, cmdout] = system('tesseract');
if status == 0
    disp('Tesseract OCR is installed.');
else
    disp('Tesseract OCR is not installed. Please install it.');
end

% Read image
I = imread('text.jpg');

% Perform OCR
results = ocr(I);

% Display results
disp(results.Text);

This will output the text recognized by Tesseract OCR from the image text.jpg.

Code explanation

1. Install Tesseract OCR - using system() to check if Tesseract OCR is installed.
2. Read image - using imread() to read in the image.
3. Perform OCR - using ocr() to perform OCR on the image.
4. Display results - using disp() to display the results.
