Image Text Extraction

Image Text Extraction is a project aimed at extracting text from images using optical character recognition (OCR) techniques. It provides a simple and straightforward way to process images containing textual information and convert that text into machine-readable format.

Features

• Extract text from images: The project utilizes OCR algorithms to extract text from images and convert it into digital text.
• Multiple image formats supported: Images in common formats like JPEG, PNG, and GIF can be processed for text extraction.
• Preprocessing capabilities: The project includes preprocessing techniques to enhance the image quality and improve OCR accuracy.
• Command-line interface (CLI): An easy-to-use CLI is provided for running the text extraction process on the command line.
• Text output options: Extracted text can be saved to a text file for further analysis or processing.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/maszpy33/Image-Text-Extraction.git

2. Install the required dependencies:
