Re: [Sikuli-driver] [Question #211334]: OCR usage and integration with Sikuli
Question #211334 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/211334 Status: Open = Answered RaiMan proposed the following answer: --- integration of other OCR engine ... ... is only possible if you step down to the native code source level, since the interface to the used Tesseract 2 features is not isolated absolutely, so you would have to make changes and adaptions in some different areas. But the main functions towards the Java API are in the Java class TextRecognizer. --- to just check the possibilities of other OCR engines ... ... use a combination of ImageMagick (to prepare a screenshot for optimal OCR) and give this image to the OCR system. This is a 2-step workflow, that can be done on command line. From Sikuli just to test the possibilities it is the fastest way, to use the IDE with some Python scripting, where you could call the OCR-step using os.popen(). I have done this once with ImageMagick and Tesseract 3. If you do it in Java, there might be the possibility, to use BufferedImages, so you would not have to use concrete files (which slows down the process somehow). If these tests are somehow satisfying, then you could decide how to proceed. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Sikuli Drivers, which is an answer contact for Sikuli. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : sikuli-driver@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Question #211334 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/211334 Akbar posted a new comment: Rephrasing the question. Integration - Modifying source code is costly and complex. Other OCR - I assume you meant that ImageMagick+Sikuli can be done in Java and BufferedImages can also be used?

Re: [Sikuli-driver] [Question #211334]: OCR usage and integration with Sikuli
Question #211334 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/211334 Status: Open = Answered RaiMan proposed the following answer: both ImageMagick (convert: work on images) and Tesseract (tesseract: get text from an image) have commands, that can be used on the command line and taking files as input and giving files as output. So principally a shell script convert input.png ... some actions output.tiff //* optimize for OCR tesseract output.tiff ... additional options would create a textfile in the end containing what Tesseract could read. This shellscript can be run from a Java program, that produces input.png using Sikuli features and finally reads output.txt to get the textual result. At least the first step (convert) can be done in memory using JMagick and BufferedImages (which you can get from Sikuli too). -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Sikuli Drivers, which is an answer contact for Sikuli. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : sikuli-driver@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
