pytesseract cannot find the file specified

by

Just hit the same error and decided to answer this question – it might help someone to save time…

First, make sure you have installed/copied Tesseract-OCR executables.

Windows can’t find the executable tesseract in the directories specified in your PATH environment variable. So either make sure that the directory containing tesseract is in your PATH variable or overwrite tesseract_cmd variable in your Python script like as following (put your PATH instead):

import pytesseract

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Tesseract-OCR/tesseract'

Beside that make sure that TESSDATA_PREFIX Windows environment variable is set to the directory, containing tessdata directory. For example:

TESSDATA_PREFIX=C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR

if tessdata location is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata
