Well again I'm not sure if I'm supposed to reply to my own topic but as I thought using the original method I used on that selection screen leads to complete crap, too much of the image is left and tesseract literally gives up and returns an empty string. So I made another filter to pass the image through, so now with 2 filters on the image it can read relatively reliably, but still specs are left that it tries to read. The first picture is the original image and the other is that image after the 2 filters.

I tried it on another screenshot with different sprites and got. )“シナ「とつせゅつへ` こうふんして ` ねつけなかったんで しょ? ま 、 建国千年のお祭りだから 無理ないけど ・・・・・・ Which is again pretty close, the extra )" and the つ in the first line is actually a う, and the へ is actually a べ which are easy to mess up. But the problem is the filters are really specific to this game at the moment and I was hoping to keep them more generalized also there's no way to really tell if a a kanji that's in the reading has been placed there in error. I want to make a program that periodically tries to read text from the game as I'm playing and perform some functions on it. Any ideas? I may just end up looking into another route, this one seemed the simplest but the errors could mess up the functionality I'm trying to achieve. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
