i have trouble with TessBaseAPI()

With code:

import tesseract

api = tesseract.TessBaseAPI()

I have an error:

AttributeError:'module' object has no attribute 'TessBaseAPI'

used sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr

Solution

  • Are you sure the right import isn't import pytesseract ?

    If it's import tesseract, did you installed the latest version of it and did you used pip ?

    Maybe this link could help you.

    Did you try this : 

    from tesserocr import PyTessBaseAPI

images = ['sample.jpg', 'sample2.jpg', 'sample3.jpg']

with PyTessBaseAPI() as api:
    for img in images:
        api.SetImageFile(img)
        print api.GetUTF8Text()
        print api.AllWordConfidences()
