Let's break down how to resolve this error and get your script up and running smoothly:

First, the immediate issue:

• You imported only the image_to_string function from pytesseract with from pytesseract import image_to_string, but then tried to call it using pytesseract.image_to_string(img). Since you didn't import the full pytesseract module, Python doesn't recognize that name.

Step 1: Correct the Import #

You have two simple fixes here:

Option 1: Import the entire pytesseract module #

Update your import lines to:

import pytesseract
from PIL import Image

Now pytesseract.image_to_string(img) will work exactly as you wrote it.

Option 2: Use the imported function directly #

Keep your original import but remove the module prefix when calling the function:

from PIL import Image
from pytesseract import image_to_string
img = Image.open('hlo.png')
text = image_to_string(img)  # No `pytesseract.` needed here

Step 2: Install All Required Dependencies #

Even after fixing the import, you might run into other errors if you haven't set up all necessary tools:

• Install the Python packages via pip:

  pip install pytesseract pillow gTTS
  

• Critical Note: pytesseract is just a wrapper for the Tesseract OCR engine. You need to install the engine itself:
  • Windows: Download the official installer, install it, and add its path (e.g., C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR) to your system's PATH variable.
  • macOS: Use Homebrew with brew install tesseract
  • Linux: Use your package manager, like sudo apt install tesseract-ocr

Step 3: Fix the Missing gTTS Import #

Your code uses gTTS but never imports it! Add this line at the top of your script:

from gtts import gTTS

Full Corrected Code #

Here's the complete, working version of your script:

from PIL import Image
import pytesseract
from gtts import gTTS

# Open the target image
img = Image.open('hlo.png')

# Extract text from the image
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
print("Extracted Text:", text)

# Generate speech and save as MP3
speech = gTTS(text=text, lang="en", slow=False)
speech.save('hello.mp3')
