Image Text Recognition

• Used Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine for recognition of text from images.

  • grayscale.py is to convert the image to grayscale and blacknwhite.py is to convert image to image with white background. Used these for preprocessing of images to optimize results of Tesseract OCR.

• Used Microsoft's Computer Vision API

  • ocr.py detects text in an image and extract the recognised words into a machine-readable character stream and handwriting.py to detect and extract handwritten text from image.
