I have the same issue and Tesseract is installed correctly.

Please see the advanced options in the online usage guide to specify the tesseract location.

If you can send me more details on where your tesseract binary is located, I can try to improve the binary auto location.

Do a which tesseract to see if it can be found.
It might have to do with exporting it to your path.

I was having the same issue this can be because of you have installed pytesseract but not tesseract you can install it sudo apt install tesseract-ocr if you are using ubuntu

Had this, too. looks like the command line for tesseract invocation needs another dash. Search for -psm and replace with --psm

[pidugusundeep]

where do i search for that @f0rdprefect ? to replace with --psm ?

[f0rdprefect]

pypdfocr_tesseract.py -- I forked this repo and tried to put it into a .snap. Need more time to figure out how to properly expose other commands inside the snap. Anyhow I fixed the --psm switch and the requirements to reportlab version 3.4.0.

Would be good to know either how to make it run with an up to date reportlab / how to create a snap which will properly work...
