Images often contain valuable text, but extracting it from formats like JPG isn’t a simple task. In this post, you will learn how to extract JPG text using Python. No matter if you are automating document processing or digitizing printed material, this solution gives you fast and accurate results.
What Is JPG Text?
JPG text is any visible text embedded in a .jpg or .jpeg image file. It can be in the form of:
- Scanned documents
- Screenshots from desktop or mobile
- Photographs of signs, labels, or receipts
- Business cards and handwritten forms
Since the text in a JPG is stored as pixels, it must be converted to machine-readable text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Extracting text from JPG images is useful for various reasons. It helps digitize paper documents, automate data entry from forms, and make image content searchable. You can also use the extracted text in a code for further analysis. With OCR technology, you save time and reduce the need for manual work in any task that involves image-based information.
