Create python script  to run OCR using tesseract #94

Closed Ananthsubray closed 4 years ago

Ananthsubray commented 5 years ago

Tesseract OCR is currently giving a good output for the India languages. With the help of others, we are able to develop a JS script to OCR single page on Wiki. It will be good to have the python script to run OCR using the tesseract for bulk pages, something similar to OCR4Wikisource using Google OCR.

We have to split up implementation as specific modules. I see many features can be commonly used for other projects as well. My Suggestions is to have modules,
