I think opencv is easier to use:

import cv2
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
image = cv2.imread('xxx.png')  
texted_image =cv2.putText(img=np.copy(image), text="hello", org=(200,200),fontFace=3, fontScale=3, color=(0,0,255), thickness=5)
plt.imshow(texted_image)
plt.show()

Note that the original image may be changed, so I add np.copy to protect it. More details on the function is http://docs.opencv.org/2.4.8/modules/core/doc/drawing_functions.html?highlight=puttext#cv2.putText
