To get text information from the content of each screenshot, we will apply text recognition from these images. Our goal is not only to obtain the words used on the page but also their weights (understood as a measure of their relevance or importance). Thanks to that, we will be able to generate a word cloud, where word size will signal how exposed a word was on the site. Pytesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) tool for python. It will recognize and "read" the text embedded in screenshots.
