Italian text extract from image with OpenCV and tessaract python

I have tried this way to workaround:
from pytesseract import pytesseract
from PIL import Image
img = Image.open('img.jpg')
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img, config='')
# Displaying the extracted text
print(text[:-1])
But this code does not extract all the text.
Here is the output output

conveting bytes to image using tinytag and PIL

I am using tinytags module in python to get the cover art of a mp3 file and want to display or store it. The return type of the variable is showing to be bytes. I have tried fumbling around with PIL using frombytes but to no avail. Is there any method to convert the bytes to image?
from tinytag import TinyTag
tag = TinyTag.get("03. Me, Myself & I.mp3", image=True)
img = tag.get_image()

I actually got a PNG image when I called tag.get_image() but I guess you might get a JPEG. Either way, you can wrap it in a BytesIO and open it with PIL/Pillow or display it. Carrying on from your code:
from PIL import Image
import io
...
im = tag.get_image()
# Make a PIL Image
pi = Image.open(io.BytesIO(im))
# Save as PNG, or JPEG
pi.save('cover.png')
# Display
pi.show()
Note that you don't have to use PIL/Pillow. You could look at the first few bytes and if they are a PNG signature (\x89PNG) save data as binary with PNG extension. If the signature is JPEG (\xff \xd8) save data as binary with JPEG extension.

Tesseract OCR produces empty results

I need to extract digits from images (see sample images). I tried pytesseract but it is not working, it produces empty results. Below is the code I am using
Code
import pytesseract
import cv2
img = cv2.imread('image_path')
digits = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
print(digits)
Sample Images
I have a large pool of images, as shown above. Tesseract is not working on any of them.

Try adding config --psm 7 (meaning Treat the image as a single text line.)
import pytesseract
import cv2
img = cv2.imread('image_path')
digits = pytesseract.image_to_string(img,config='--psm 7')
print(digits)
#'971101004900 1545'

extract text from image using python pytesseract

This is the first time I am working with OCR. I have an image and want to extract data from the image. My image looks like this:
I have 500 such images and will have to record the parameters and the respective values. I'm thinking of doing it through code than doing manually.
I have tried with python py-tesseract and PIL libraries. They are performing good if the image contains some simple text.This is what i tried
from PIL import Image, ImageEnhance, ImageFilter
from pytesseract import image_to_string
from pytesseract import image_to_boxes
im = Image.open("AHU.png")
im = im.filter(ImageFilter.MedianFilter())
enhancer = ImageEnhance.Contrast(im)
im = enhancer.enhance(2)
im = im.convert('1')
im.save('temp2.jpg')
text = image_to_string(Image.open('temp2.jpg'))
print(text)
What to do in this case where there are several parameters? All my images are similar with respect to position of the values.

Detect text in image and trace on them

I need some help with image processing , I'm working on a script which can detect Alphabets on the image and trace them , For example if there is a letter A in the Image then code has to detect it and trace(side-by-side not over same line) 3-4 times (with different colors) with given distance based on width of the text . As of now I'am able to detect the words and font and size using tesserocr module, but I'm unable to do the tracing thing .
import io
import tesserocr
from PIL import Image
with tesserocr.PyTessBaseAPI() as api:
image = Image.open("1d.png")
api.SetImage(image)
api.Recognize()
iterator = api.GetIterator()
print iterator.WordFontAttributes()
Thanks in advance #peace
