To use EasyOCR, you will need to install it first. You can do this by running the following command:
Copy code
pip install easyocr
Once you have EasyOCR installed, you can use it to extract text from an image or PDF file by using the following code:
Copy code
import easyocr
reader = easyocr.Reader(['en']) # Set English as the language
# Extract text from an image
image = '/path/to/image.jpg'
text = reader.readtext(image)
# Extract text from a PDF file
pdf_file = '/path/to/document.pdf'
text = reader.readpdf(pdf_file)
EasyOCR can also be used to extract text from multiple languages by specifying the languages you want to use when creating the Reader object. For example:
Copy code
reader = easyocr.Reader(['en', 'fr', 'de']) # Set English, French, and German as the languages
