Python script that extracts text from a video using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). It utilizes the OpenCV library for video processing and the pytesseract library for performing OCR.
- Python 3.x
- OpenCV (
pip install opencv-python) - pytesseract (
pip install pytesseract)
Please note that pytesseract requires the Tesseract OCR engine to be installed on your system. Make sure to install Tesseract OCR using the appropriate method for your operating system.
- Ensure you have the necessary Python libraries installed by running the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Set the path to your input video file and the desired output text file in the script:
video_path = '/input/path'
output_file = '/output/path'
Implement any necessary preprocessing techniques in the preprocess_frame function. This function allows you to resize, denoise, enhance quality, or apply other preprocessing steps to the frame.
Run the script using the following command:
python video_text_extractor.py The extracted text will be saved to the specified output file.
