Could you recommend some python libraries or source code for OCR and handwritten character recognition?
Traditional OCR is all about technology that has “studied” fonts and symbols enough to be able to identify almost all variations of machine-printed text. But therein lies the limitations of traditional OCR: while it's great for extracting text from paper, it can't read handwriting.
OCR with Pytesseract and OpenCV. Pytesseract or Python-tesseract is an OCR tool for python that also serves as a wrapper for the Tesseract-OCR Engine. It can read and recognize text in images and is commonly used in python ocr image to text use cases.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology for recognizing text in images, such as scanned documents and photos.
OpenCV package is used to read an image and perform certain image processing techniques. Python-tesseract is a wrapper for Google's Tesseract-OCR Engine which is used to recognize text from images. Download the tesseract executable file from this link.
