pip install pytesseract

pip install pillow

from PIL import Image

from pytesseract import pytesseract

#Define path to tessaract.exe

path_to_tesseract = r'C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe'

#Define path to image

path_to_image = 'texttoimage.png'

#Point tessaract_cmd to tessaract.exe

pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = path_to_tesseract

#Open image with PIL

img = Image.open(path_to_image)

#Extract text from image

text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)

print(text)
