tesseract-ocrHow do I use Tesseract OCR to convert a PDF document to text?
To use Tesseract OCR to convert a PDF document to text, you can use the pytesseract Python library.
First, install the library using pip install pytesseract
.
Then, import the library in your Python script:
import pytesseract
Next, you can use the image_to_string
function to convert the PDF file to a string of text:
text = pytesseract.image_to_string('./my_document.pdf')
print(text)
The output of the code will be a string of text extracted from the PDF document.
You can also use the image_to_data
function to get more detailed information about the text extracted from the PDF document:
data = pytesseract.image_to_data('./my_document.pdf')
print(data)
The output of the code will be a dictionary containing information about the text, such as the text itself, the location of the text, and the confidence of the text recognition.
