Pass multiple images at once

[ShroukMansour]

Hi, I know that I can pass multiple images to tesseract using the command line like this tesseract list.txt list.out.txt where list.txt is a file containing images paths. How can I do that in pytesseract without using a loop?

You can pass the path for this list.txt as string to pytesseract and it should do the same.

It worked thank you, also can I pass to it an array of images? @int3l

If you mean Python lists - unfortunately, there is not built-in support for that at the moment.

I want to OCR multi images in one pdf. So I write it as follow, but not worked:

 pdf = pytesseract.image_to_pdf_or_hocr("C:/list.txt", lang='eng', extension='pdf')
 with open(pdfoutputfolder+"result.pdf", 'w+b') as f:
     f.write(pdf) # pdf type is bytes by default

I searched and got it: tesseract-ocr/tesseract#1268
but I hope write it in python by pytesseract, instead of CLI.
