how to overcome this isuue?

Answer 1

As you can see from the error log, the problem here is that on your machine is missing Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 .

To fix this problem, simply install it, follow the link that you find in the traceback ( this one ), and try again with the command

pip install tesserocr

Answer 2

直接使用Anaconda重新加载Python并使用：

conda install -c simonflueckiger tesserocr
