Text detection from images using EasyOCR and Text to Speech using Python

Optical Character Reader or Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technique used to convert the text in visuals to machine-encoded text. These visuals could be printed documents(invoices, bank statements, restaurant bills), or placards(sign-boards, traffic symbols ), or handwritten text. Converting these visuals to text could be handy for information extraction, scanning books or documents and making PDFs, storing in the system or working with it online such as text to speech(this could be of great help to visually impaired people), used widely in autonomous vehicles to interpret various things. OCR is an emerging technology that is enhancing for better accuracy in performance. The text is detected from the picture and using some of the dependencies such as Pytorch, EasyOCR, NumPy, Matplotlib and TextToSpeech.
