pytesseract - Extracting digits from an image

Question

I am new to pytesseract. I want to extract the user ID's from the below image

The code I am using is:

import cv2
import pytesseract

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Users\80141219\AppData\Local\Programs\Tesseract- OCR\tesseract.exe'

image = cv2.imread(r'C:\Desktop\dormancyIssue\testImage.jpg', 0)
thresh = cv2.threshold(image, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)[1]

data = pytesseract.image_to_string(thresh, lang='eng',config='--psm 6')
print(data)

cv2.imshow('thresh', thresh)
cv2.waitKey()

and the output is:

wecy| H+ op Et >A EEE

I'm not even sure where some of the data in the output is coming from. Note I have also tried to crop the image to only include the ID's but to no avail.

I'm wondering if someone might have a solution or point me in the right direction.

Thanks!!

I see your ID is consist of only number. Here is a solution for tesseract to gather number information.
