When I cloned the repo and ran the example where it imports from source directory instead of the installed package, I faced another issue.

from source import pytessy
from PIL import ImageFilter, Image
ocrReader = pytessy.PyTessy()

FileNotFoundError: Cannot locate Tesseract-OCR library.

Then I changed it to

ocrReader = pytessy.PyTessy(lib_path="C:/Program Files/Tesseract-OCR")

FileNotFoundError: PyTessy: lib_path: "C:/Program Files/Tesseract-OCR" doesn't exist.

also tried

ocrReader = pytessy.PyTessy(lib_path="C:/Program Files/Tesseract-OCR/tesseract")

FileNotFoundError: PyTessy: lib_path: "C:/Program Files/Tesseract-OCR/tesseract" doesn't exist.

@tbattz I am windows, it shouldn't be too different, help please :)

@ishandutta2007 Initially I tried downloading the old version (V3.02) of tesseract from the bottom of this page: https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Downloads.html

That didn't work, but it gave the path you were trying.

Uninstalling that, and downloading V5 from https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki, and it works without specifying a path, so give that a try.

I am using v5 alpha only. My exe file name is tesseract-ocr-w64-setup-v5.0.0-alpha.20201127

Anyways nevermind your case might be different as you are on linux, it seems being on windows is the root of all issues, will try on linux when I have access to one.

That was on Windows, but I think if you look in the pytessy script, lib_path narrows down the search to dll files, for me it finds libtesseract-5.dll, so that's what you'd want within the directory of the path you give it.

This importing from the pytessy package, not the pytessy module (which is actually pytessy.pytessy). So with the pip-installed versioned you should use:

from pytessy.pytessy import PyTessy
ocrReader = PyTessy(...)

or

from pytessy import pytessy
ocrReader = pytessy.PyTessy(...)

@tbattz Acctually I moved away from using pytessy to easyocr. So can't really give you an update on this. easyocr internally uses Terraract too. So it must be issue on pytessy's side.
