Where to find tessdata folder?

[Abel Tan]

Hi,

I installed pytesseract by using Anaconda 

conda install -c simonflueckiger tesserocr

The path to Anaconda is :C:\Users\Tan\Anaconda3\

The path to tesseract package is :C:\Users\Tan\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\tesserocr

However when I start up Jupyter notebook and run :

import tesserocr

print(tesserocr.image_to_text(image))

I get error:

RuntimeError                              Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-12-bd27261f0d8c> in <module>()
----> 1 print(tesserocr.image_to_text(imagee))

tesserocr.pyx in tesserocr._tesserocr.image_to_text()

RuntimeError: Failed to init API, possibly an invalid tessdata path: C:\Users\Tan\Anaconda3\

How do I solve this problem?

Thanks

Abel

Did you follow instruction for installation of that package?

Did you try internet search before posting on forum? 

Did you try to search for help in project  tesserocr???

I just put it to google and I got:

https://pypi.org/project/tesserocr/

https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr
