How to make Tesseract work like a pythonic module
Why can't I import pytesseract when I place it in the same folder like my executed python script? At least that is how other python modules work for me.
I'd appreciate a solution without pip or apt-get installing or path-setting, since I am developing a software for a beginner level windows user. It would be best if it just works, after copying the main folder on his system and installing python3.
Code:
import pytesseract
import cv2
img = '/home/artur/Desktop/test_images/frame_0000.png'
string = pytesseract.image_to_string(cv2.imread(img))
print(string)
Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/artur/Desktop/OCR/Pytesseract_test.py", line 6, in <module>
string = pytesseract.image_to_string(cv2.imread(img))
File "/home/artur/Desktop/OCR/pytesseract.py", line 294, in image_to_string
return run_and_get_output(*args)
File "/home/artur/Desktop/OCR/pytesseract.py", line 202, in run_and_get_output
run_tesseract(**kwargs)
File "/home/artur/Desktop/OCR/pytesseract.py", line 172, in run_tesseract
raise TesseractNotFoundError()
pytesseract.TesseractNotFoundError: tesseract is not installed or it's not in your path
python tesseract
