'How to Get Text From Image in Django Web Application using tesseract?
i am building a django web application to extract text from images. i wanna use tesseract for it. but tesseract python code work normally in windows pc and not work in django web application.
this is the error when i run python code using html click button
tesseract-ocr/tesseract.exe is not installed or it's not in your path.
this is the my python code for tesseract in django web app
def text1():
global img
import pytesseract as tess
tess.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'Tesseract-OCR\\tesseract.exe'
from PIL import Image
def program():
img = Image.open("./static/img/figure-65.png")
text = tess.image_to_string(img)
print(text)
program()
text1 function call by html click button and it correctly set to views.py and urls.py
This image shows where the tesseract python code and tesseract.exe In imageToText.py have the python code.
You can see Tesseract-OCR Folder, that's where **tesseract.exe** have.
urls.py of web app
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.home, name="home"),
path('openC', views.openC, name="openC"),
path('text1', views.text2, name="text1"),
]
urls.py of main web project
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from img2text.settings import MEDIA_ROOT
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include("imgtext.urls"))
]+ static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=MEDIA_ROOT)
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render,redirect
from .form import ImageForm
from .models import Image
from .imageToText import text1
from .opencvtext import openCv
def home(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form=ImageForm(data=request.POST,files=request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
obj=form.instance
return render(request,"index.html",{"obj":obj})
else:
form=ImageForm()
img=Image.objects.all()
return render(request,"index.html",{"img":img,"form":form})
def openC(request):
openCv()
def text2(request):
text1() #tesseract function call
so, what i did wrong? how i fix it or any other way to get text from image in django python?
