video-ocr is a command line tool and a python library that performs OCR on video frames, reducing the computational effort by choosing only frames that are different from their adjacent frames.
- video-ocr uses tesserocr, which in turn uses tesseract as the OCR engine. So, please follow the tesserocr installation instructions.
- Install using pip:
pip install video-ocr
