tesseract-ocrHow can I use tesseract OCR to test online documents?

Tesseract OCR is an open source library for optical character recognition. It can be used to test online documents by extracting text from images or PDF files.

Here is an example of how to use Tesseract OCR to test an online document:

# Import the Tesseract OCR library
from pytesseract import image_to_string

# Load the image from the online document
image = Image.open('document.png')

# Use the image_to_string() method to extract the text from the image
text = image_to_string(image)

# Print the extracted text
print(text)

The output of the above code will be the text extracted from the online document.

Code explanation

1. from pytesseract import image_to_string - imports the Tesseract OCR library.
2. image = Image.open('document.png') - loads the image from the online document.
