Working

1. First, this will seacrh for the text inside the image file(most probably .jpg/.PNG file).
2. Then, it'll fetch the text & store it in a variable.
3. And then, writes it into a docx file(So that if it extracts wrong text, you can manually type the correct text).

text = extractTextFromImg(imgPath) # - extract text from image file
appendDataToWord(wordPath, text) # - append data into word file
