So i wanted to use tesseract and i installed both pytesseract and tesseract ocr and created the path. So why is it when i try to use tesseract i get an error message which says :

1, 'Error opening data file C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata/eng.traineddata Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to your "tessdata" directory. Failed loading language \'eng\' Tesseract couldn\'t load any languages! Could not initialize tesseract.')

and here is my code :

import pytesseract
from PIL import Image

img = Image.open('maaan.jpg')
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tesseract-OCR\\tesseract.exe'
print( pytesseract.image_to_string(img,lang='eng'))

by the way im using windows 10

please help me :(

make sure you are running program in same directory,if that doesn't work please show error – wishmaster Feb 07 '19 at 23:46
Does "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata/eng.traineddata" exist? – user3757614 Feb 07 '19 at 23:46
Try with `pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = 'C:\\Program\ Files\ (x86)\\Tesseract-OCR\\tesseract.exe'` (escaped spaces) – Dmitrii Z. Feb 08 '19 at 10:14
