How Can I Properly Detect Letsgodigital Font Text?

I am on Windows 10, and I try to extract digits from this image with the pytesseract library with language lets (cf. https://github.com/adrianlazaro8/Tesseract_sevenSegmentsLetsGo

Solution 1:

You didn't set any specific page segmentation method. I'd opt for --psm 6 here:

Assume a single uniform block of text.

So, even without further pre-processing I get the proper result:

import cv2
import pytesseract

img = cv2.imread('RcVbM.jpg')

text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img, lang='lets', config='--psm 6')
print(text.replace('\n', '').replace('\f', ''))
# 004200
