I've got these error when I tried to compile Pytesseract

[RoloRoCas]

I installed OCR from the google page and I have successfully imported the library Pytesseract, but when I tried to compile this code on python and get these errors from Pytesseract.py and subprocess.py.

My code is:

9 - from pytesseract import image_to_string 10 -from PIL import Image 11- 12- im = Image.open('an91cut.jpg') 13- print(im) 14- 15- print(image_to_string(im))

---

And the 5 errors are these:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:/Documentos/2015-2/Proyecto Electr�nico 1/PycharmProjects/Extracci�n de placa/ocr2.py", line 15, in print(image_to_string(im))

HELP PLEASE, I'M DEVELOPING A PROJECT OF LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION AND MY FRIENDS AND ME ARE DELAYED WITH THE SOLUTION. (Apologize if my English is wrong. Greeting from Peru!)

I think you may not have "tesseract" in your PATH variables. If you open a terminal and run tesseract does it find it?

I would suggest that you put the full path of where your tesseract binary is located here: https://github.com/madmaze/pytesseract/blob/master/src/pytesseract.py#L60

Yeeeeeah! It was that! I had written the correct path (tesseract_cmd = C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR) but I forgot to write the name of the file "tesseract" and other thing that was wrong is the backslashes. When I was in the directory of "tesseract", I just copied what I got in the adress bar and that was with backslashes, that was causing an error too. I change them to slashes and added the file name of the application "tesseract" and it worked! I put: tesseract_cmd = 'C:/Program Files/Tesseract-OCR/tesseract'. Thanks a lot! @madmaze , you made me to review this code section. Greetings from Perú!!!! :) :)

Glad hear you have it working.
