Is there an alternative to (py)tesseract for extracting text from game screenshots?

I need to to extract text from a screenshot taken from a game window in python. So far, I have been using tesseract (pytesseract) but while the recognigion itself is great, the performance is not optimal.

As I have read that tesseract is best used for high resolution images, I'm wondering if there is a better (faster) way?

Usually pytesseract is effective only for high resolution images. Certain morphological operations such as dilation, erosion, OTSU binarization can help increase in pytesseract performance.
