This is the home of the Windows Python wheels for the official [**tesserocr**](https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr) repository. The wheels come bundled with all the shared libraries necessary to execute **tesserocr**, 100% hassle-free. This means no tedious setting up of Tesseract and its dependencies.

You can download the wheel corresponding to your Python version from the [Releases](https://github.com/simonflueckiger/tesserocr-windows_build/releases) and install it via pip

```cmd

pip install .whl

```

It's even more straightforward if you have conda installed

```cmd

conda install -c simonflueckiger tesserocr

```

## :warning: Prerequisites (tessdata)

Unfortunately, you won't get around a minimal amount of additional setup before using **tesserocr**. Make sure to download [tessdata](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata) to a convenient location. Additionally, you have to either create an environment variable `TESSDATA_PREFIX` pointing to the location of tessdata or pass the path directly when initializing **tesserocr** as follows 

```python

PyTessBaseAPI(path='C:\path\to\tessdata')

```

Check out [tesserocr#tessdata](https://github.com/sirfz/tesserocr#tessdata) for more information.

## Python Versions

As a short disclaimer: I will only build packages targeting Python versions which are still actively supported (have not yet reached [EOL](https://endoflife.date/python) status). **This means I can't follow up on requests for Python versions 2.x or anything <= 3.6.**
