title: Problems using Tesseract-OCR on Python
body: <p>I'm new in programming and I'm trying to use Tesseract OCR to read the text of an image, but I can't make it work! I installed tesseract_OCR, pytesseract and pillow in my environment. Does anyone have a tip?</p>
  
  <p>Input:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from PIL import Image 
  
  import pytesseract
  
  print( pytesseract.image_to_string( Image.open('phrase.jpg') ) ) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output:</p>
  
  <pre><code> C:\Anaconda2\envs\ambiente36\python.exe 
  
   C:/Users/Simone/Desktop/curso_programacao/Ler_imagens/ler_imagens
