I know this question has already been answered on this site, however, none of the solutions I looke up the internet seemed to work. Here's what I tried:
This error is quite bothering me now and I can't advance any further because of it.
Here's my code if that's going to help:
import pytesseract
import sys
import argparse
try:
import Image
except ImportError:
from PIL import Image
from subprocess import check_output
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = 'C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR'
c=pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('img.png'))
print(c)
Traceback:

I suspect a few things, not sure about any though.
First and the most obvious, the path to Tesseract is not complete. It should be something like:
tesseract_cmd = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tesseract-OCR\\tesseract'
I believe your path points to a directory/folder and not an executable, though only you can confirm that. Let me know if this is incorrect, I see something else too that doesn't seem right at first, but needs more investigation.
I encountered same problem, and I fixed it as 0xc0de said, change the below line:
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd=r"C:\MyApps\Tesseract-ocr\"
to:
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd="C:\\MyApps\\Tesseract-ocr\\tesseract.exe"
Use this to read the tesseract path and also make sure that you have installed the Tesseract- OCR
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\\\Program Files (x86)\\\Tesseract-OCR\\\tesseract.exe'
using always double \\\\ instead of a single "\\"
You need to install tesseract separately. I am providing the link from where you should install
https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki
tesseract-ocr-w32-setup-v5.0.0-alpha.20201127.exe (32 bit) and tesseract-ocr-w64-setup-v5.0.0-alpha.20201127.exe (64 bit) resp.
choose here according to your system config. most of us have 64 bit. so choose that.
Install the file very carefully. I Would suggest doing it in a separate drive other than c. take the path where you have install the tesseract.exe file. and paste it at pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd
look the code...
import cv2
import pytesseract
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'E:/OCR/tesseract_install/tesseract.exe'
img = cv2.imread('E:/OCR/example1.png')
# to see the image below codes are there
cv2.imshow('sampleimage',img)
#enter any key to destroy the image window opened due to previous line code
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
#convert image to text using tesseract
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
print(text)
