Thank you so much for this useful code!
However I'm trying to figure out where did I go wrong, this is what I used:
When I run the script nothing happens, it does not work and does not give me any error at the same time.
I made sure I installed glob.
I made sure I have creds.json in the same folders.
I have jpeg images stored in TXTImages.
I'm using python 3.6 on windows 10.
I suspect that I entered the wrong format for path and srcdir at the beginning of the code.
An input from you would be mostly appreciated!
===================
EDIT: Nevermind, since I'm a typical code illiterate I realized I didn't have TXTResults folder in my directory.
However I'd like to add something, as soon as the code tries to ocr a utf-8 characters it immediately stops and gives this error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 0-12: character maps to
I solved this issue by simply adding encoding="utf-8" in (outpath, 'w') si it becomes (outpath, 'w', encoding="utf-8")
