HOW TO FIX - PIP IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL COMMAND ERROR IN PYTHON || PIP ERROR

Download and Install pip:

pip can be downloaded and installed using command-line by going through the following steps:

Download the get-pip.py file and store it in the same directory as python is installed.
Change the current path of the directory in the command line to the path of the directory where the above file exists.
Run the command given below:
```
python get-pip.py
```
and wait through the installation process.
Voila! pip is now installed on your system.

Verification of the Installation process:

One can easily verify if the pip has been installed correctly by performing a version check on the same. Just go to the command line and execute the following command:

pip -V

Verification of pip

To use Python-tesseract - requires python 2.5+ or python 3.x - first you have to install PIL and pytesseract packages through pip:

pip install Pillow
pip install pytesseract

Then you have to download and install the tesseract OCR:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr-alt/?source=typ_redirect

As far as I know it automatically adds it to your PATH variable.

Then use it like this way:

import pytesseract
from PIL import Image

img = Image.open('Capture.PNG')
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tesseract-OCR\\tesseract.exe'
print( pytesseract.image_to_string(img) )

I hope it helps :)
