Tesseract and TensorFlow are both tools in the field of AI, but they serve different purposes. Tesseract is an open-source optical character recognition (OCR) engine designed to extract text from images. TensorFlow is a machine learning framework used to build and train various AI models. Tesseract specializes in OCR tasks and works well with printed or handwritten text in scanned documents or images. It includes preprocessing steps like binarization to improve text extraction accuracy. Developers use it for applications like digitizing documents or extracting text from photographs. TensorFlow, on the other hand, is a versatile platform for developing AI models, including image recognition, natural language processing, and more. For example, TensorFlow can be used to train a custom image classifier, while Tesseract focuses specifically on reading text from images.
