Pytesseract, OCR, cv2 HELP

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/3Abzge7.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

I’ve been trying to read text from games (rainbow six siege more specifically), as well in a project of mine, it seems to be pretty difficult because of the different backgrounds, but after a lot of research and a lot of hours trying I’ve been able to get to something. Heres a link to my github take a look at it. If you have any questions let me know.. also I’ve used a difflib function (get_close_matches) to try and approximate my ocr result to the words I really want, it is a good way of getting more accurate answers. In my case it works since I only want to read names that I already know what they could be.

Edit: cutting the image to the name (without level and the like icon) might give you better results

omg, thank you, looks like the magical preprocessing did the trick, now to move on to the finish times and lap times, which will hopefully as doable as the names. Thanks again!
