tesseract: Recognize text in an image and save it to `output.txt` (the `.txt` extension is added automatically).
$ tesseract ${image-png} ${output}
try on your machine
The command is using the Tesseract OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine to extract text from an image. Let's break down the command step by step:
-
${image-png}: This is a placeholder for the input image file in PNG format. Replace${image-png}with the actual path or name of the image file you want to process. -
${output}: This is a placeholder for the output file where the extracted text will be saved. Replace${output}with the desired path or name of the output file.
Overall, the command is instructing Tesseract to take the input image file (in PNG format), perform text recognition on it, and save the resulting text in the specified output file.
