OCR with OpenCV,Tesseract,and Python (Practitioner Bundle)

The ideal starting point if you want to learn more advanced OCR techniques This bundle includes everything from the “Intro to OCR” Bundle,plus how to train your own custom OCR models with Keras/TensorFlow,apply image/document alignment and registration,OCR receipts and invoices,OCR license plates and Automatic License Plate Recognition,improve OCR speed with GPUs,handwriting recognition,and even how to train and fine-tune Tesseract models on your own custom datasets. You’ll also learn my tips,suggestions,and best practices when building OCR projects.
