how to get text from handwriting image in python

Question

the image:

the image is handwritten line of text this is extracting the text some what but not the expect same in the image

and the code is

import cv2

img = cv2.imread("a.jpg")
img = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
img = cv2.resize(img,(6000,100))

_, result1 = cv2.threshold(img,100,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
_, result2 = cv2.threshold(img,100,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV)

adaptive_result1 = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(result1,255,cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_GAUSSIAN_C,cv2.THRESH_BINARY,199,5)
adaptive_result2 = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(result1,255,cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C,cv2.THRESH_BINARY,199,5)
adaptive_result3 = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(result2,100,cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_GAUSSIAN_C,cv2.THRESH_BINARY,199,5)
adaptive_result4 = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(result2,256,cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C,cv2.THRESH_BINARY,999,1)
# cv2.imshow("title",result)
# cv2.waitKey(0)
import pytesseract
from PIL import Image
from pytesseract import Output
configs = r'--psm 6 --oem 3'
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd =r'C:/Users/ASUS/OneDrive/Desktop/ubuntu file/tesseract.exe'

data = pytesseract.image_to_data(img, config=configs, output_type=Output.DICT)
print(*data['text'])
data = pytesseract.image_to_data(result2, config=configs, output_type=Output.DICT)
print(*data['text'])
data = pytesseract.image_to_data(adaptive_result3, config=configs, output_type=Output.DICT)
print(*data['text'])
data = pytesseract.image_to_data(adaptive_result4, config=configs, output_type=Output.DICT)
print(*data['text'])
# data = pytesseract.image_to_data(img, config=configs, output_type=Output.DICT)
# print(*data['text'])
# print(data.keys())

Answer 1

I have tried some image preprocessing techniques such as using dilation and manipulating the threshold. The image became crystal clear.

However, the confidence score sometimes is as low as 51, which means that you cannot really rely on the output. It is something that is related to the training of the engine.
