Extract words from an Image and PDF - Laravel

Question

is there any way to extract words from scanned images and PDF? Is there any such library for Laravel as I want to use it for laravel. I have searched a lot for that but did not found any such thing for Laravel. Please let me know if you are aware about it. Every help would be highly appreciated :-). Thanks to all of you in advance !!!!

You can get OCR software that allows you to read characters from scanned documents as you are scanning them, so maybe it is possible to read a file.

After doing some reading...

Its possible to read text from scanned images and PDF.
I too couldn't find libraries for image processing built for explicit use with laravel, but I did find PHP wrappers for the infamous OpenCV and TesseractOCR, maybe they'll help.

Some useful readings:
