The attached code is a simple code which will convert Image into text using tesseract and google vision api.

Tesseract OCR

Tesseract is an optical chraracter recognition library used in python but its efficiency is very low compared with Google vision API but we can increase contrast or create binary image using opencv to enhance the output. to install tesseract:- https://www.linux.com/blog/using-tesseract-ubuntu

In the given code i have applied binary image convertion to get better output Required libraries OPEN CV TESSERACT OCR numpy

GOOGLE VISION API

This is the most advanced API availible for optical character recognition and it offers other services like face recognition, logo, and landmark detection, etc.

HOW TO USE IT:-

1. Create a project in google console and add vision api to it.
2. In this project go to credentials and create Service account keys
3. Download Service account keys in .json format
4. Give its path in code.
5. RUN
