title: Text (computer written) recognition with python?
body: <p>I have images that aren't timestamped and I need to rename and timestamp them for a project.</p>
  
  <p>Here's an example of the timestamp, written at the top of every image:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3o1jZ.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3o1jZ.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>So the question is, is there a way I can <em>translate (detect)</em> each number on the timestamp in the image shown? Perhaps I could use <code>cv2</code> or <code>tensorflow</code> to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Also I was thinking even training a decision tree if I were to crop each digit and create a series of same <em>sized 1 channel arrays</em> to train on.</p>
  
  <p>Thoughts?</p>
