Process batch files from momery

Is there a way I could batch feed tesserect memory files to speed it up?

You can use the tesseract option for list of files. Just pass string with the path to the text file that contains the list of images. Check the pytesseract docs for more info and example.

Was hoping to do everything in memory. Is that possible?

[bozhodimitrov]

pytesseract is just a wrapper to the C++ tesseract standalone program, so if you have the files in the python memory, pyteeseract doesn't support direct processing (via pipe/ipc), it will save it as a file on disk.

There is a related open issue #172
