yardstick17/image_text_reader

Python module that preprocesses images before Tesseract OCR; a lightweight alternative to pytesseract.

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.

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.
