Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Python

Why take this course?
🎉 Master Optical Character Recognition (OCR) with Python!
🚀 Course Title: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Python: OpenCV, Tesseract, EasyOCR, and EAST Applied to Images and Videos!
📚 Course Description:
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a transformative technology that turns images filled with text into machine-readable data. Imagine scanning a page of a book or capturing a photo of a document, and instantly having editable text on your screen—that's the power of OCR! This technology isn't just for printed texts; it's the secret behind self-driving cars reading traffic signs and automatic form filling for your financial documents.
In this comprehensive course, Jones Granaty will guide you through the exciting world of OCR using Python. You'll learn to harness powerful libraries like OpenCV, Tesseract, EasyOCR, and EAST to extract text from both images and videos. 🖥️✨
Here's what you'll master:
- Text Recognition in Images and Videos: Learn how to use Tesseract and EasyOCR to recognize text within visual media.
- Advanced Search Techniques: Discover how to search for specific terms or patterns in images using regular expressions.
- Image Processing Techniques: Enhance the quality of your images with thresholding, color inversion, grayscale conversion, resizing, noise removal, and perspective transformation.
- Deep Learning for OCR: Dive into the EAST architecture and EasyOCR library to achieve superior performance when recognizing text in natural scenes.
- Build Your Own OCR from Scratch: Train a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using TensorFlow to create your own custom OCR model!
