title: Pytesseract can't read simple numbers
body: <p>I'm trying to read this number using pytesseract: <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/d3njD.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/d3njD.jpg" alt="enter image description here" /></a> and when I do it prints out <code>IL</code>:</p>
  <pre><code>import pytesseract
  pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract'
  text = pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open(&quot;Number.jpg&quot;))
  print(text)
  </code></pre>
  <p>I've also tried converting the image to black or white: <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9RoDu.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9RoDu.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a> but this hasn't worked either. What am I doing wrong?</p>
