img = Image.open('<path to image file>')
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
print(text)
Output (if any): The text extracted from the image.
Code explanation
import pytesseract
: imports the pytesseract module which provides an interface to the Tesseract OCR engine.from PIL import Image
: imports the Python Imaging Library (PIL) module which provides functions to open, manipulate and save images.pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"<path to tesseract executable>"
: sets the path to the Tesseract OCR executable.img = Image.open('<path to image file>')
: opens the image file.text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
: passes the image to Tesseract OCR and extracts the text from it.print(text)
: prints the extracted text.
