Tesseract installation - for Windows OS

C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe is not installed or it's not in your path

• If you get this error its probably because you dont have tesseract installed or not have set it to right path as per line 11 in app.py.
• The soln for this is to install tesseract to the specified path in the code from here
