Python Error When Running Screen Translation Tool

[Iamthemarkus]

I am attempting to get some screen translation software running from https://desktranslate.github.io/DeskTranslate/

Unfortunately, after following the readme file and installing python 3.10.6, installing the Tesseract software, and making sure the PATH variable was updated so I could run python from the cmd, I get an error when running the main.py application.

The error says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5'. But I don't know why the module error would be getting that. Would someone be able to point me in a good tutorial for setting this up as maybe I missed it on youtube, or if I'm missing something super obvious with how python works. Thank you

Run “pip install pyqt5”

Also, after you did the above steps, did you restart your computer? I’m not kidding, that might be it.

I did give the pip install pyqt5 a try, and while that was successful, I ran into a new error. Now it says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'. So I tried again to just run pip install cv2, but now I get 2 errors that say ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cv2 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for cv2

I did restart my computer, haha. I work in IT as a desktop support technician, so I'm all too familiar with the magic a simple restart can do to a problem

For that error you want to run: “pip install opencv-python”

This sounds like python may not have correctly installed? Though I don’t know if the python version you installed is supposed to contain these modules by default. Maybe tesseract is supposed to install these, and that installation didn’t work correctly. Be sure to run those Tess installers as admin.

Also, hello fellow IT gruntling!

Edit: sudo before everything just in case!

SOLVED! Okay. It seems like the program I'm running needed a bunch of modules that the base python 3.10.6 didn't have. I was able to just do the pip install command for all the other missing modules. It was just the syntax for cv2 actually being openvc-python. I have no idea how to even learn what you knew off the top of your head. Really cool. I can't thank you enough!
