[pentakotamadhusudhan]

The release of OpenCV and Tesseract at Vivify Healthcare is part of the company's research and development efforts to find the best technology stack that is both sustainable and affordable.

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) and tesseract are two separate Python libraries commonly used for image processing and optical character recognition (OCR), respectively. OpenCV provides tools for image manipulation, including reading, writing, and processing images, while tesseract is a wrapper for the Tesseract OCR engine, which allows text to be extracted from images.
