Show HN: tesserocr – A Python wrapper for the tesseract-ocr API

This differs from other python wrappers like pytesseract [1] and pyocr [2] in that tesserocr binds the tesseract c-api. The others call out to the tesseract executable via `subprocess`.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;madmaze&#x2F;pytesseract" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;madmaze&#x2F;pytesseract</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jflesch&#x2F;pyocr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jflesch&#x2F;pyocr</a>

Strangely enough started using pytesseract yesterday and realised it was subprocess only.<p>Thanks, will give this a try instead :)

Isn&#x27;t the GIL the way not to go if you really want to be multithreaded and with good performance?

This is great. Did you tune the recognition models at all or is it straight tesseract plus the wrapper.

Could someone guide me to a step by step guide for installing it in windows ?
