pytesseract gives an error PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

Question

I'm using pytesseract in Python for pdf. But I'm getting permission error in windows 10. I have install tesseract-ocr-w64-setup-v5.0.0-alpha.20200328.exe from https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki I have also poppler-20.09.0 files. and I`m using python 3.8.0

import pdf2image
import PyPDF2
import os
try:
   from PIL import Image
except ImportError:
   import Image
import pytesseract

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR'

def pdf_to_img(pdf_file):
    print('pdf_file = ', pdf_file)
    return pdf2image.convert_from_path(pdf_file, dpi=200, fmt='jpg',
                                   poppler_path=r'F:\lokesh\resume_script\poppler-20.09.0\bin')


def ocr_core(file):
    text = pytesseract.image_to_string(file,)
    return text


def print_pages(pdf_file):
    images = pdf_to_img(pdf_file)
    for pg, img in enumerate(images):
        print(ocr_core(img))


print_pages("aa.pdf")

when I run this code. it gives this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

how can we solve this error in windows

Answer 1

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR'

需要是

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe'
