# OCR_with_format
* simple wrapper that postprocesses pytesseract's hOCR output to maintain format and spacings.
* [Link to an alternative implementation found on stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59582008/preserving-indentation-with-tesseract-ocr-4-x)
## How to
* install `python -m pip install OCR_with_format`
* see usage `OCR_with_format --help` (executing with `python -m` is not supported)
## Usage
```
NAME
OCR_with_format
SYNOPSIS
OCR_with_format IMG_PATH <flags>
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
IMG_PATH
Type: str
path to the image you want to do OCR on
FLAGS
-m, --method=METHOD
Type: str
Default: 'with_format'
if 'with_format', will use the author's code if 'none', will output tesseract's default output if 'stackoverflow', will output using another algorithm found on stackoverflow
--thresholding_method=THRESHOLDING_METHOD
Type: str
Default: 'otsu'
any from "otsu", "otsu_gaussian", "adaptative_gaussian", "all"
If "all", the three methods will be tried and the final output will be the one which maximizes the mean and median confidences over each parsed words.
-l, --language=LANGUAGE
Type: str
Default: 'eng'
language to look for in the image
-o, --output_path=OUTPUT_PATH
Type: Optional[str]
Default: None
if not None, will output to this path and erase its previous content.
--tesseract_args=TESSERACT_ARGS
Type: str
Default: '-...
default arguments for tesseract
-q, --quiet=QUIET
Default: False
if True, will only print the output and no logs
NOTES
You can also use flags syntax for POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
```
## Example
* Image:
* 
* output from `OCR_with_format ./screenshot.png --thresholding_method="all" --quiet`
```
