Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\PythonProjects\pytesseract.py", line 2, in import pytesseract as pya File "C:\PythonProjects\pytesseract.py", line 5, in print(pya.image_to_string(image.open('doggieville.png'))) AttributeError: module 'pytesseract' has no attribute 'image_to_string'

Why is it happening???

Answer 1

The problem is, you have to rename the python file to something else instead of pytesseract.py . Your python file has the same name as tesseract inbuilt function .

Answer 2

Can you try this?

import image 
import pytesseract as pya

pya.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Users\Euphz\Documents\Artworks\PSD\Speaking
of Dogs\201710'
print(pya.image_to_string(image.open('doggieville.png')))

The import statements need to be in seperate lines.
