OCR Web app with `easyocr` and `streamlit`

OCR Web app with easyocr and streamlit

This project uses streamlit for web app development and easyocr for Optical Character Recognition (to extract text from images).

This is a nice data science project if you wish.

Required Libraries:

• streamlit
• easyocr
• numpy
• Pillow - https://python-pillow.org/

After downloading this repo and installing the required packages run the following code to run the app

streamlit run ocr.py

image-to-text-python-app's Issues

Get wierd error message when I run this... OMP: Error #15: Initializing libiomp5md.dll, but found libiomp5md.dll already initialized.

I installed Pillow and the other dependencies needed for this package on Windows 10 Pro.

I followed the instrutions to start the program:

Streamlit-OCR-App>streamlit run ocr.py

You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.

Network URL: http://192.168.1.163:8501

BUT I GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE:

OMP: Error #15: Initializing libiomp5md.dll, but found libiomp5md.dll already initialized.
OMP: Hint This means that multiple copies of the OpenMP runtime have been linked into the program. That is dangerous, since it can degrade performance or cause incorrect results. The best thing to do is to ensure that only a single OpenMP runtime is linked into the process, e.g. by avoiding static linking of the OpenMP runtime in any library. As an unsafe, unsupported, undocumented workaround you can set the environment variable KMP_DUPLICATE_LIB_OK=TRUE to allow the program to continue to execute, but that may cause crashes or silently produce incorrect results.
