Pytesseract is too slow. How can I make it process images faster?

Question

I am using pytesseract in the below code:

    def fnd():
    for fname in list:
        x = None
        x = np.array([np.array(PIL.Image.open(fname))])
             


        

Answer 1

Pytesseract writes and reads every image you pass it. This is unnecessary when running 35 images. Instead, you should use a python tesseract API interface. This will be significantly faster.
