Hello, to start - I am a newbie and I don't have much knowledge of cv2 or pytesseract. I've been following tutorials and YouTube videos to work on a project, I was assigned at work. I am trying to extract the name of the Instagram profile from their status. For example, in the picture attached, I am trying to extract 'virat.kohli'  in the upper left corner or atleast 'reply to virat.kohli'. I am not worried about the other text or the actual status.

I tried with different PSMs but with little luck. Any help or suggestions? Thanks!

Why do you think using different page segmentation modes (PSM) would help you on this image?
Did you read the documentation[1] and did you try suggestions from there?
