Phenom Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm using AutoIt to grab images and then call Tesseract to OCR the images. I'm getting some errors. I notice that if I expand the window to be twice as large I get better results, but I have to do that manually since I don't know how to do that with AutoIt. What is the best way to capture images for OCR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctopusCO Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Unfortunately I've never used Tesseract, but I do use AutoIt in conjunction with Alchemy to process some organizational functions and then let Alchemy handle OCR'ing on the server side. Does that product actually require the image to be displayed for OCR'ing? If so it sounds like a function like _WinAPI_SetWindowPlacment would work for you. Info: _WinAPI_SetWindowPlacement -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sets the placement of the window for Min, Max, and normal positions #Include <WinAPI.au3> _WinAPI_SetWindowPlacement($hWnd, $pWindowPlacement) Parameters $hWnd Handle of the window $pWindowPlacement pointer to $tagWINDOWPLACEMENT structure Return Value Success: Returns non-zero Failure: Returns 0, @error = 1, @extended = _WinAPI_GetLastError() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnOne Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Tesseract will capture directly from the screen, or seemingly so anyway, at least it did about six months ago when I used it, I found all the information in the tesseract thread in example scripts. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
