pytesseract Output is not defined

Question

Trying to run tesseract on python, this is my code:

import cv2
import os
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pytesseract
import Image
# def main():
jpgCounter = 0
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk('/home/manel/Desktop/fotografias etiquetas'):
    for file in files:
        if file.endswith('.jpg'):
        jpgCounter += 1

for i in range(1, 2):

    name                = str(i) + ".jpg"
    nameBW              = str(i) + "_bw.jpg"
    img                 = cv2.imread(name,0) #zero -> abre em grayscale
    # img                 = cv2.equalizeHist(img)
    kernel = np.array([[0,-1,0], [-1,5,-1], [0,-1,0]])
    img = cv2.filter2D(img, -1, kernel)
    cv2.normalize(img,img,0,255,cv2.NORM_MINMAX)
    med                 = np.median(img)



    retval, threshold_manual    = cv2.threshold(img, med*0.6, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
    cv2.adaptiveThreshold(img,255,cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C, cv2.THRESH_BINARY,11,2)
    print(pytesseract.image_to_string(threshold_manual, lang='eng', config='-psm 11', nice=0, output_type=Output.STRING))

the error im getting is the following:

NameError: name 'Output' is not defined

Any idea why I'm getting this? thank you!

Answer 1

Add.

from pytesseract import Output

Answer 2

The problem is you have installed original pytesseract package (downloaded using pip) and referring documentation of madmaze GitHub version, actually both are different.

I suggest uninstalling the present version and cloning the GitHub repo and installing the same, by following this steps:

1. Uninstall present version:

   pip uninstall pytesseract

2. Clone madmaze/pytesseract GitHub repo by either using git:

   git clone https://github.com/madmaze/pytesseract.git

   or download it directly by clicking here

3. Get to the root directory of the cloned repo and run:

   pip install .
