before you use the script you need to install the dependence

1. download the tesseract from the official link:

https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki

2. install the tesseract

i chosed this path

*replace the user string in the below path with you name of user that you are using in your current machine

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Tesseract-OCR\

3. Install the pillow for your python version

* the best way for me is to install is this form(i'am using python3.7 version and in my CMD i run this version of python by typing py -3.7):

* if you are using another version of python first look how you start the python from you CMD

* for some machine the run of python from the CMD is different
