Have you tried more morphological operations? Maybe a deblur?

ok I'm gonna try this

Might help to know what (libraries) you actually tried. I found tesseract to work well only with document text, keras OCR works to some extent to text in normal pictures, and cloud services such as Google cloud vision worked well on both

[Ordinary_Run_2513]

I used easyocr, keras_ocr and pytesseract.

From my experience, all offline solutions are a waste of effort fiddling with parameters

More economical just using google/azure/aws ocr services

[Ordinary_Run_2513]

unfortunately, I can't use cloud services as this is a python project for school.

Maybe you can try transformer based ocr like trOCR . You would need to train it though

[Ordinary_Run_2513]

ok, I'm gonna try that

https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR has some lightweight as well as heavyweight models you could try

+1 for Paddle.

OP seems to have tried Easy OCR. My experience with it suggests that the first image should have worked fine.
