How do I choose between Tesseract and OpenCV? [closed]

Answer 1

OpenCV is a library for CV, used to analyze and process images in general. Tesseract is a library for OCR, which is a specialized subset of CV that's dedicated to extracting text from images.

From OpenCV.org

.....used to detect and recognize faces, identify objects, classify human actions in videos, track camera movements, track moving objects, extract 3D models of objects, produce 3D point clouds from stereo cameras, stitch images together to produce a high resolution image of an entire scene, find similar images from an image database, remove red eyes from images taken using flash, follow eye movements, recognize scenery and establish markers to overlay it with augmented reality, etc

From Tesseract Github:

.....can be used directly, or (for programmers) using an API to extract typed, handwritten or printed text from images. It supports a wide variety of languages.
