Hi, I think you need the config parameter, for example:
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img, config='--psm 10') Best, art From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Robert Edney Sent: Monday, April 25, 2022 11:52 PM To: tesseract-ocr <[email protected]> Subject: [tesseract-ocr] New to Tesseract -- quick question Hi All, I have a very simple Python program running that works for everything but what I need to do. I need Tesseract to recognize a single character. I've read up about this, which has served to confuse me further. Here's my code: from PIL import Image import pytesseract img = Image.open('/home/pi/Desktop/typeset.jpg') text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img) #tesseract number.png stdout --psm 10 print(text) The "typeset.jpg" is a single character, and Tesseract ignores it. If I sub the image with one with two characters (or more), it works. You can see that I've commented out "tesseract number.png stdout --psm 10" because it throws a syntax error. My understanding is that I need that line to get Tesseract to create one box and read one character -- but I can't figure out how to make that work -- where to put it or any needed code with it -- and I've tried!
