Convert scanned pdf to text python

Question

I have a scanned pdf file and I try to extract text from it. I tried to use pypdfocr to make ocr on it but I have error:

\"could not found ghostscript in

Answer 1

Take a look at this library: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypdfocr but a PDF file can have also images in it. You may be able to analyse the page content streams. Some scanners break up the single scanned page into images, so you won't get the text with ghostscript.
