Problem:
Getting this error while trying to import python-tesseract into my project (OCR function):
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
- I do not know what's the problem.
- I do not have the skills and knowledge to trace this problem with its root cause.
History:
As I understand it, tesseract is a 32-bit application. I am running Windows 7, 64 bit with 64 bit python. Other people seemed to be managing tesseract in these conditions, but they are not ideal and can cause this problem.
Stack trace
This is an error trace from PyCharm. As you can see, it does not indicate the file that was the problem; instead, it says that it cannot find what looks like an argument of string format:%1
