Take a sneak peek at what's inside...
Practical, real-world projects.
The chapters in this book cover real-world use cases, including aligning and OCR'ing invoices, Automatic License/Number Plate Recognition, OCR'ing and translating text, and handwriting recognition, just to name a few. What you learn in this book will directly translate to your own OCR projects.
Clear, easy-to-follow tutorials.
This book won't bury you under a pile of theory or pages and pages of complex equations. Instead, you'll learn through intuitive chapters that are super practical and present solutions to actual real-world OCR problems. By the end of this book you'll be able to successfully apply OCR to your own projects.
Expert advice.
Inevitability, when working on your projects you'll have a question. Questions are a good thing — they mean you're pushing the boundaries of your current knowledge, and are looking to expand your understanding. With our unparalleled support you know your question won't get left unanswered.
Hands-on coding.
In this book you will learn by doing. You'll roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty with code. Each and every chapter starts with an empty directory. We then design the project and write the code from scratch. Along the way I explain what every line of code is doing, ensuring you not only understand we are doing but we are doing it.
Unparalleled support.
I hold myself and PyImageSearch to an incredibly high standard. When you buy a book or course from me, you're not just getting the content itself — you're also getting access to me and the PyImageSearch team. We are committed to helping you not only learn OCR, but successfully apply OCR to your projects as well. I'm ready to order my copy nowAs a computer scientist who had no previous experience with ML (and forgot everything I learned in my math courses) the book was easy to follow/understand and at the same time covered almost all the important details. It helped me "catch up" very quickly to the point I feel like I can start building projects! In other words.. worth every penny!”
Phenomenal. The concepts on deep learning are so well explained that I will be recommending this book to anybody not just involved in computer vision but AI in general.”
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a simple concept but is hard in practice.
The goal of OCR is to Create a piece of software that accepts an input image, automatically recognize the text in the image, and then convert it to machine encoded text (i.e., a "string" data type).
For example, if I were to present the following image to my OCR algorithm, I would expect it to detect the text, recognize the text, and then encode the text as a string variable.
But despite being such an intuitive concept, OCR is incredibly hard. The field of computer vision has existed for over 50 years (with mechanical OCR machines dating back over 100 years), but we still have not "solved" OCR and created an off-the-shelf OCR system that works in nearly any situation.
And worse, trying to code custom software that can perform OCR is even harder:
Open source OCR packages like Tesseract can be difficult to use if you are new to the world of OCR.
Computer vision and image processing libraries such as OpenCV and scikit- image can help you preprocess your images to improve OCR accuracy... but which algorithms and techniques do you use?
Obtaining high accuracy with Tesseract typically requires that you know which options, parameters, and configurations to use — and unfortunately there aren't many high-quality Tesseract tutorials or books online.
Deep learning is responsible for unprecedented accuracy in nearly every area of computer science. Which deep learning models, layer types, and loss functions should you be using for OCR?
If you've ever found yourself struggling to apply OCR to a project, or if you're simply interested in learning OCR, this book is for you.
I'm ready to order my copy nowMy brand new book, OCR with OpenCV, Tesseract, and Python, is for developers, students, researchers, and hobbyists just like you who want to learn how to successfully apply Optical Character Recognition to your work, research, and projects.
Regardless of your current experience level with computer vision and OCR, after reading this book you will be armed with the knowledge necessary to tackle your own OCR projects.
Curious about what you’ll learn?
OCR with Tesseract, OpenCV, and Python will teach you how to successfully apply Optical Character Recognition to your work, projects, and research.

Best of all, the algorithms, walkthroughs, and code can be directly applied to your current job and research.
Libraries and Packages
The primary focus of this book is around Tesseract, which is the world's most popular open source OCR engine. Simply put — if you're interested in learning how to apply OCR to your own projects, you need to learn how to operate the Tesesract OCR engine.
We'll be utilizing the Python programming language in this book. Python is an extremely easy language. It also has easy-to-use libraries and packages that allow us to seamlessly interact with our computer vision, deep learning, and OCR APIs.
When we interact with Tesseract via Python, we'll use PyTesseract. The PyTesseract package interfaces Tesseract, making it easy to OCR images using Python.
For computer vision and image processing, we'll be using OpenCV, the de facto standard library for image processing. You'll find OpenCV easy to use, especially with the hands-on projects covered in the text.
When training our own custom deep learning OCR models, we'll be using Keras and TensorFlow 2. Using Keras and TensorFlow 2 is the fastest, easiest way to go from idea, to experimentation, to result.
You'll also learn how to use cloud-based OCR APIs, including Amazon Rekognition, Microsoft Cognitive Services, and the Google Vision API.
This is one of the best books (if not the BEST) I've found in this subject. Easy to read and easy to understand, with many practical examples. A good combination between theory and hands-on problems. I would recommend it to any person interested in Deep Learning and Computer Vision. Adrian, you are a great teacher!”

After you purchase your copy of OCR with OpenCV, Tesseract, and Python you will (1) receive an email receipt for your purchase and (2) you will be able to download your books, code, datasets, etc. immediately.
What is your money back guarantee policy?
I offer a 30 day Money Back Guarantee on all orders. If you haven't learned the fundamentals of Optical Character Recognition after reading my book, then I don't want your money. Simply send me an email and ask for a refund, up to 30 days after your purchase. With all the copies I've sold, I count the number of refunds on one hand. My readers are satisfied and I'm sure you will be too.
Are the hardcopy editions shipping?
Yep, the hardcopies are indeed shipping! The "OCR Expert" Bundle is the only bundle that includes a hardcopy edition. After you purchase, you will receive an email with a link to enter your shipping information. Once I have your shipping address I can get your hardcopy edition in the mail, normally within 48 hours.
Why are we using the Python programming language?
Python is an extremely easy language to learn and has huge number of powerful packages. Python is the best way to apply Optical Character Recognition to your own projects.
Does this book cover OCR with Tesseract?
Yes, this book covers Tesseract for Optical Character Recognition extensively. You'll start by learning the basics of the Tesseract OCR engine, including how to utilize the Tesseract binary from the command line. From there, you'll interface with Tesseract via the Python programming language, learn how to OCR images with Python and Tesseract, and even train and fine-tune Tesseract models on your own custom datasets!.
Will this book show me how to apply OCR with OpenCV?
The OpenCV library is a collection of functions, modules, and tools that allow you to perform image processing and computer vision. OpenCV includes functions that let you perform OCR, but the library is actually much more powerful than just OCR. Inside this book you'll not only learn how to perform OCR with OpenCV, but also use OpenCV's functions to help you obtain higher OCR accuracy.
What if I'm a beginner at OCR?
It's okay if you are brand new to Optical Character Recognition! This book makes no assumptions on your prior experience with OCR, computer vision, or deep learning. You'll still be able to follow along with this book, even if you are brand new to the world of OCR.
That said, a little bit of OpenCV experience goes a long way, so if you're new to OpenCV, I highly recommend that you also grab a copy of Practical Python and OpenCV so that you can learn the basics.
What if I'm already experienced in OCR?
This book isn't just for beginners — there are advanced concepts, algorithms, and techniques covered as well:
- You'll learn how to train custom Keras/TensorFlow OCR models.
- You'll build an Automatic License/Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system.
- You'll learn how to apply OCR to real-time video streams using GPUs for inference.
- You'll train and fine-tune Tesseract models on your own custom OCR datasets.
And you'll learn how to use OCR APIs in the cloud, including Amazon Rekognition, Microsoft Cognitive Services, and Google Vision.
Best of all, the algorithms, walkthroughs, and code can be directly applied to your current job and research.
Do I need any programming experience before reading this book?
This book assumes you have some prior programming experience (e.g. you know what a variable function, loop, etc. are). You should have more skills than a beginner but certainly not an intermediate or advanced developer. As long as you understand basic programming logic-flow, you'll be successful in reading (and understanding) the contents of this book.
Do I need to know OpenCV?
You do not need to know the OpenCV library to be successful when going through this book. We only use OpenCV to facilitate basic image processing operations such as loading an image from disk, displaying it to our screen, along with some basic image processing routines.
That said, a little bit of OpenCV experience goes a long way, so if you're new to OpenCV, I highly recommend that you also grab a copy of Practical Python and OpenCV so that you can learn the basics.
Do I need to know Deep Learning, Keras, TensorFlow, etc.?
The "Intro to OCR" Bundle does not require any knowledge over deep learning. The "OCR Practitioner" Bundle and "OCR Expert" Bundle require a practitioner's knowledge over deep learning, meaning that you understand the basic idea of how a model is trained. If you're new to deep learning or want to level up your skills, make sure you grab a copy of the Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python book — you can work through this OCR book and the deep learning book in tandem.
Can I upgrade from the lower tier bundle to a higher one? How does the upgrade process work?
Yes, you can always upgrade your bundle to a higher one. For example, you could purchase the "Intro to OCR" Bundle and then upgrade to the "OCR Practitioner" Bundle or "OCR Expert" Bundle at a later date.
The cost to upgrade would simply be the price difference between your current bundle and the bundle you wanted to upgrade to (you would not need to "repurchase" the content you already own). To upgrade your bundle just send me an email and I can get you the upgrade link.
I'm just so busy right now...
Everyone has the same amount of time in a day — we all have 24 hours to work, spend time with our families, sleep, and have fun. If you're interested in studying Optical Character Recognition, I challenge you to make it your goal. Take the time to invest in yourself and your OCR knowledge by grabbing a copy of OCR with OpenCV, Tesseract, and Python.
Ask yourself, how much time are you wasting because:
- You lack the fundamentals of OpenCV, Computer Vision, and Deep Learning.
- You don’t understand what knobs and dials to tune to achieve high accuracy results.
Your scripts error out, leaving you confused on how to proceed.
OCR with OpenCV, Tesseract, and Python solves these problems so you can stop wasting your time and money following paths that only lead to failure — let me guide you to success!
