tesseract is not installed or it is not in your path

[pete111]

Hi,
I am using tesseract in while loop in my script. But from time to time (once daily) I am getting this error. Tesseract is installed and works, but I get this message once per day. How to solve it?

Traceback:
File file.py, line 169, in <module> results.append(pytesseract.image_to_string(im))
File /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pytesseract/pytesseract.py, line 286, in image_to_string
return run_and_get_output(image, 'txt', lang, config, nice)
File /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pytesseract/pytesseract.py, line 201, in run_and_get_output
   raise TesseractNotFoundError()
pytesseract.pytesseract.TesseractNotFoundError: tesseract is not installed or it's not in your path

version:

tesseract 3.04.01
 leptonica-1.74.1
  libgif 5.1.4 : libjpeg 6b (libjpeg-turbo 1.5.1) : libpng 1.6.28 : libtiff 4.0.8 : zlib 1.2.8 : libwebp 0.5.2 : libopenjp2 2.1.2

We don't support 3rd party software. Turn to the author of the script with your question.

@amitdo, my question is not about third party software. My question is why is tesseract working but suddenly once daily tesseract returns "tesseract is not installed or it's not in your path". When I start script again, then it works correctly again.

I'd try a newer version of Tesseract and also of the Python part.

@pete111: please read your post. @amitdo is right. It is 3rd party sw that claims "tesseract is not installed or it's not in your path". It is not tesseract error message e.g. there is nothing we can fix or solve.

I have faced the same issue "TesseractNotFoundError" in 3rd party software, in fact it was Out Of Memory problem, because when I stopped some services everything started working.

I have faced the same issue, the solution is very easy,

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"full path to the exe file"
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe"

text = pytesseract.image_to_string(new_image, config='--psm 11')

worked fine for me.

Thanks, it worked for me.

where to add

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe"

Please let me know,THX!
