This python script will read an image and extract the text from it. Its a image to text translation. After translation, we can convert the text to any foreign language.
I hope you all like it. :)
Python-tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) tool for python. That is, it will recognize and "read" the text embedded in images.
Python-tesseract is a wrapper for Google's Tesseract-OCR Engine <https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract>_. It is also useful as a
stand-alone invocation script to tesseract, as it can read all image types
supported by the Python Imaging Library, including jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff,
and others, whereas tesseract-ocr by default only supports tiff and bmp.
Additionally, if used as a script, Python-tesseract will print the recognized
text instead of writing it to a file.
- Install pytesseract : pip install pytesseract
- pytesseract states that it requires Python Imaging Library (PIL) pip install pillow
- For Translation purpose: pip install googletrans
Declaring object class for Translator.
----- translator = Translator()
Calling a PIL function "image_to_string" that will convert text from image.
----- text = pytesseract.image_to_string(im)
This will translate the text to any user specific language.
----- translator.translate(text, dest=lang[lan])
