#2First of all, great work, and thank you for sharing.
The video only shows this working with an image of a text-only page. What happens when there are photos embedded in the image?

Hi! Thank you!
Tesseract is trained to only recognize text from images. I haven't looked into image detection yet though.
This project fits the situation where you need to digitize a bunch of physical copies / scans of documents. Sometimes these documents have images like company logos which would be useful to include in the final html page.
I'll try to take a look into it, it is a wonderful idea for a 2nd part. This current post is geared towards helping others transition into the world of data science with OCR by describing every step of the way.

#4nice. But why are you attributing tesseract solely to google when it was initially developed by HP ? Does it help marketing nowadays?

I'd argue that one can refer to Tesseract as Google product without being deceptive, as it's been developed by Google since 2006 [1].
