 1 | # Extract-Links-from-Images
 2 | Using OCR and pytesseract to extract links from images in Python
 3 | 
 4 | A tutorial that I made explaining the code : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8exztOf6ul4
 5 | 
 6 | ## Why I built this?
 7 | Whenever we have an event such as an hackathon or workshop we get the banner or poster of the event with the registration link, we need to refer the image and type the damn characters in the browser which is very annoying.
 8 | 
 9 | ## What does this do?
10 | It extracts links from Images and automatically opens browser and directs us to that link.
11 | 
12 | ## Installation
13 | ```
14 | pip install pillow
15 | pip install pytesseract
16 | ```
17 | 
18 | 
19 | Once these links are extracted we would use webbrowser to automatically open browser and direct us to that particular link.
