My script:
from PIL import Image
print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('/Users/Sanya/Downloads/SimpleText.png')))
And then I got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytesseract/pytesseract.py", line 250, in run_tesseract

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

when I tried the tesseract OCR trick, same error.
An answer would be greatly appreciate it.
