Getting text written on screen

[xHPx]

Hello there, autoit forums >_<

Is it possible to get screen text with autoit? Text written on the screen in games, in example.

Attached is an example, is it possible to get the name of the System with autoit?

Try searching for OCR (optical character recognition).

Hey there,

I made a simple tool using Tesseract to recognize numbers, but i have a problem: Tesseract converts 1 (0nes) as l (L letter) and the tool crashes...

Any way to force to recognize only numbers?

Thanks

Could you not just change it ?

If $i = "L" then

$i = "1"

Just a thought.

Yes but i need to work with two digits number.

Im using "Fileread" to get the numbers from Tesseract´s TXT output file. Maybe if i try with "Stringreplace"??

I dont see why not, especially if tesseract is cvonsistantly returning an L.

I've been using tesseract today and its been fine with 1

Since im using english language, i had no problems with my tests. A great surprise because i have no idea how to configure or "train?" Tesseract...

For one or two digits, i´m doing this:

If the filesize is 5 bytes, the captured file contains only one digit, so "Fileget" one character

If the filesize is 6 bytes, the file contains two digits, so...

Not a genius solution, but it works

Thanks anyway for your ideas John
