Tesseract C-API in python, a faster alternative to pytesseract
You can install the package via pip:
pip install pytesseract-apiimport cv2
from pytesseract_api import image_to_string
from pytesseract_api.api import set_variable
img = cv2.imread("sample.png")
text = image_to_string(img)
print(text)
img = cv2.imread("digits.png")
set_variable("tessedit_char_whitelist", "0123456789")
text = image_to_string(img)
set_variable("tessedit_char_whitelist", "") # reset- Only supports opencv images as input as of now
