OCR using Tesseract in fabric

Dear All,

 

Were you able to install tesseract in Fabric?

We want to analyze the data from a pdf but not all pdf is smart or they are low quality and found a solution that we can convert pdf to image and use tesseract to perform OCR.

 

Is there an existing document that can help me install and use it in fabric?

 

My error is this: TesseractNotFoundError: tesseract is not installed or it's not in your PATH. See README file for more information.

    I have found another solution that will help you guys convert from PDF to image and image to OCR

    pip install pytesseract
pip install easyocr

import easyocr
import pytesseract

reader = easyocr.Reader(['en'])
result = reader.readtext('/lakehouse/default/Files/img_ocr/page_1.png')

all_text = ' '.join([detection[1] for detection in result])
print("Joined Text:")
print(all_text)

    This is the solution that works on fabric.
