I don't see why not, as long as the text is clear enough to be recognised. FWIW, there are a number of tools out there for extracting various content items (such as images) from .swf files - it might be worth your while to investigate those, as the images might be better quality than a screendump (not to mention that it would probably be quicker than generating screendumps). -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
