+Python Tesseract
+================
+
+Python-tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) tool for python.
+That is, it will recognize and "read" the text embedded in images.
+
+Python-tesseract is a wrapper for `Google's Tesseract-OCR Engine`_. It is also useful as a
+stand-alone invocation script to tesseract, as it can read all image types
+supported by the Python Imaging Library, including jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff,
+and others, whereas tesseract-ocr by default only supports tiff and bmp.
+Additionally, if used as a script, Python-tesseract will print the recognized
+text in stead of writing it to a file. Support for confidence estimates and
+bounding box data is planned for future releases.
+

+
+USAGE
+-----
+::
+
+    try:
+        import Image
+    except ImportError:
+        from PIL import Image
+    import pytesseract
+    print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('test.png')))
+    print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('test-european.jpg'), lang='fra'))
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- Python-tesseract requires python 2.5+ or python 3.x
+- You will need the Python Imaging Library (PIL) (or the Pillow fork).
+  Under Debian/Ubuntu, this is the package **python-imaging** or **python3-imaging**.
+- Install `Google Tesseract OCR <https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract>`_ 
+  (additional info how to install the engine on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows).
+  You must be able to invoke the tesseract command as *tesseract*. If this
+  isn't the case, for example because tesseract isn't in your PATH, you will
+  have to change the "tesseract_cmd" variable at the top of *tesseract.py*.
+  Under Debian/Ubuntu you can use the package **tesseract-ocr**.
+
+Installing via pip:
+See the `pytesseract package page <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytesseract>`_.
+::
+
+    $ (env)> pip install pytesseract
+
+Installing from source:
+::
