This project demonstrates Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on images using Python, Tesseract, and OpenCV.

• Python
• OpenCV
• Tesseract

1. Install the required packages:
   • Download and install Tesseract from here.
2. Update the tesseract_cmd variable in run.py with the path to the Tesseract executable on your system.

1. Place the image you want to perform OCR on in the img directory.
2. Update the cv2.imread function in run.py with the path to your image.
3. Run the script:

python run.py

The script will load the image, convert it to grayscale (optional, depending on the image), and then apply OCR using Tesseract. The resulting text will be printed to the console.

• The current script is set to recognize the Portuguese language. If you want to use another language, change the lang parameter in the pytesseract.image_to_string function to the appropriate language code. You can find the list of supported languages here.

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.
