Older generation, or narrower

An earlier or more limited way to do the job. Still the right call when you need something small, proven, or CPU-only.

yardstick17/image_text_reader

old Python Tesseract wrapper; only useful for a very basic OCR script

The module extracts text from image using the tesseract-OCR engine. Generally, text present in the images are blur or are of uneven sizes. The image is pre-processed for better comprehension by OCR. This module first makes bounding box for text in images and then normalizes it to 300 dpi, suitable for OCR engine to read.
