Python: Failed loading language 'eng' Tesseract couldn't load any languages
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have installed Tesseract 3.05 on my Windows 10.
I am trying to perform image_to_string() operation on a given image.
The function isn't able to locate the tessdata folder.
I have even added TESSDATA_PREFIX under the environment variables with path leading to tessdata folder which is present in C:Program Files (x86)Tesseract-OCRtessdata.
tessdata contains eng.traineddata and it still can't read it.
Error is as below:
File "ocr.py", line 38, in <module>
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open(filename))
File "C:UsersskumaAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython36-32libsite-packagespytesseractpytesseract.py", line 294, in image_to_string
return run_and_get_output(*args)
File "C:UsersskumaAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython36-32libsite-packagespytesseractpytesseract.py", line 202, in run_and_get_output
run_tesseract(**kwargs)
File "C:UsersskumaAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython36-32libsite-packagespytesseractpytesseract.py", line 178, in run_tesseract
raise TesseractError(status_code, get_errors(error_string))
pytesseract.pytesseract.TesseractError: (1, 'Error opening data file \Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata/eng.traineddata Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory. Failed loading language 'eng' Tesseract couldn't load any languages! Could not initialize tesseract.')
Is the mix in the backward slash (windows 10 default) and forward slash(linux style) the problem here
or is it something else? Can someone please help me out? I am still a beginner with Tesseract.
