Hi everyone,
This is my very first post in GitHub, so apologies if what I am going to share is not pertinent or does not belong to this place.
I had problems using the script, as it only extracted the very last line of the document, even though there were several lines marked. Therefore, I started browsing, and found a solution proposed in stackoverflow that, at least, worked for me. I don't understand why this worked and the previous one didn't, to be honest, as I am quite new in this field. I hope any of you can find it out, and that this code may help anyone with the same problem.
Of course, credits to Nathancy as the original solver of the problem: https://stackoverflow.com/users/11162165/nathancy

gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
thresh = cv2.threshold(gray, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)[1]
data = pytesseract.image_to_string(thresh, lang='eng',config='--psm 6')
print(data)
cv2.imshow('thresh', thresh)
