python FileNotFoundError when using pytesseract


I trying to capture a part of the current screen to detect some number on the screen, but when the code run got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Administrator/PycharmProjects/bot/detect_num.py", line 12, in <module>
    print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('test.jpg')))
  File "C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\pytesseract\pytesseract.py", line 161, in image_to_string
    config=config)
  File "C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\pytesseract\pytesseract.py", line 94, in run_tesseract

  File "C:\Python35\lib\subprocess.py", line 1224, in _execute_child
    startupinfo)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

source code:

import pyscreenshot as ImageGrab
from PIL import Image
import subprocess
from pytesseract import *

if __name__=="__main__":
    im = ImageGrab.grab(bbox=(1349, 34, 1357, 45))
    im = im.convert('1')
    im.save('test.jpg', 'JPEG')
    im.show()
    print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('test.jpg')))

Please some one tell me why, and how to fix it?


Solution

  • The issue here is that you haven't installed a necessary dependency. When you read pyteseeract's documentation you see the following text:

    I presume you haven't yet performed that step, so there's no tesseract command to actually do the OCR work required.
