[Tutor] Python Optical Character Recognition

[Stefan Behnel]

How to read a jpg or png file into python and extract text thanks. I
would imagine getting small symbols like ; or , to be difficult?

That depends entirely on the OCR engine. And you won't normally get in
touch with that very deeply.

Any good framework like this?

Searching for "python ocr" gives me a couple of hits, including this one:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytesseract

PyPI has some more matches that might be relevant:
