hallow i need a help am working with ocr in python i have encounter this two libraries pytesseract and pytesser for ocr in python can anybody tell me what are their difference and which can run on all OS i have searched it on google and no any vivid documentation about their difference am now on a project of recognizing text from an image by a web app on a mobile
You'll find a long list of packages having to do with OCR here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=s...mit=search
THANX FOR THE LINKS I HAVE SEEN THEM BUT WHICH IS BETTER BETWEEN PYTESSERACT AN PyOCR THEY SEEMS OF 6 AND 8 RESPECTIVELY AND LATEST UPDATED BUT THIS https://pypi.python.org/pypi/asprise_ocr...i/15.3.0.8 IT IS 10 IT SEEMS TOP RANKED BUT UPDATE OF 2014 IS THE LAST UPDATE
If you look at the bottom of the page, the rank is calculated based on:
occurrence of search term weighted by field (name, summary, keywords, description, author, maintainer)
I used to think it was useful, but not sure anymore

I haven't used OCR for a while, so unless someone else comments, you'll have to try a bunch to see which works best
Then, please report your findings.
