Hello, I need more information to be able to help ... can you share the image you are trying to recognise?
Also make sure the user who runs PHP has tesseract on its $PATH (otherwise you have to specify the executable location (/~https://github.com/thiagoalessio/tesseract-ocr-for-php#-executablepathtotesseract).

I set executable like this
echo (new TesseractOCR(storage_path('app\user_72\capture.jpg')))
->executable('C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe')
->run();

but the result was nothing.

Hi @thiagoalessio , I have the same issue as @fredtheryick.
My code is exaxtly like his.

$tesseract = new TesseractOCR(public_path('sample.jpg'));
$tesseract->executable('C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe');
dd($tesseract->run());

But it returns nothings.

Hi @VisualTrauma, maybe this can help you.
$tesseract = (new TesseractOCR(storage_path('app\' . $file)))
->executable('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe"')
->lang('eng')
->run();

just add double quote on executable

[esdeguzman]

Thank you @fredtheryick, Can you tell me why does it have to be inside a double qoute? Sorry if this is such a noob question.

[kevin-and-eva]

you are welcome @VisualTrauma
so actually this code will work too
->executable("C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe")
just double quote.

the explanation why is in this link
