Read Original

This technical article demonstrates how to use the R 'magick' package (an interface to ImageMagick) along with the 'tesseract' OCR engine to read and extract structured data tables from image files. It addresses a common problem of data being shared only as images, such as screenshots on social media, and provides a step-by-step R-based solution for converting these images back into usable data for analysis.
