Find Text in Images using Python
The AsposeOcr class of the library provides the image_has_text() method. You can use this method to search for a specific word or phrase in an image. This method accepts a text fragment or a regular expression. It returns true if it finds the text and false if it doesn’t.
Please follow these steps to find a specified text in an image programmatically using Python:
- Create an instance of the AsposeOcr class to access OCR functionality.
