Overview

Tesseract is a powerful open source optical character recognition engine originally developed by Hewlett Packard and later maintained by Google and the open source community. It can recognize text from images and scanned documents supporting more than one hundred languages and exporting results to formats such as TXT PDF and HTML. The engine uses modern LSTM neural networks for improved recognition accuracy and can be integrated into applications through command line tools or programming APIs.
