image-to-translated-text

Translation of foreign languages using Image Analytics and Data Extraction

This project uses:

1. pytesseract
2. PIL
3. googletrans

How to run

The image file path can be given as command line argument. Run the following command in the terminal:

python main.py path/filename

Example:

python main.py images/ch1.png

In img_reader.py, image_reader() gets the image and converts its contents to a string. The language of the text in the image is mentioned in image_to_string().

text = pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open(image_file), lang='chi_tra')

In text_translator.py, googletrans is used to translate the obtained text.
