📄 Description

What is this Python project?

A simple, Pillow-friendly, wrapper around the tesseract-ocr API for Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

TLDR: Speed gains, readability, in memory OCR, no need for sub shell process using file system access.

tesserocr integrates directly with Tesseract's C++ API using Cython which allows for a simple Pythonic and easy-to-read source code. It enables real concurrent execution when used with Python's threading module by releasing the GIL while processing an image in tesseract.
