tesseract-ocrHow can I use Tesseract OCR on an NVIDIA GPU?


Tesseract OCR can be used on NVIDIA GPUs using the NVIDIA Deep Learning SDK. The SDK provides a comprehensive set of tools for accelerating deep learning inference applications such as Tesseract OCR.

The following example code shows how to use Tesseract OCR on an NVIDIA GPU:

import tesseract
from tesseract.pytesseract import image_to_string

# Load the image
image = cv2.imread('test.png')

# Run tesseract on the GPU
with tesseract.Session() as sess:
    output = image_to_string(image, session=sess)
    print(output)

The code above will run Tesseract OCR on the specified image using the NVIDIA GPU.

The code consists of the following parts:

  • Importing the Tesseract and pytesseract libraries
  • Loading the image
  • Creating a Tesseract session
  • Running Tesseract on the image
