Another OCR

[nOne]

Inspired by Insolence's D2 OCR, i made this one for World of Warcraft

just download the zip file

unpack zip file anywhere

open up: text.gif in MS Paint

Run wow_ocr.au3 with the latest BETA it is much faster then the stable version

see the result in a msgbox

if you want to use it inside of world of warcraft be sure you have set up your game like this:

; WoW Size: 1024*768

; NO!! Interface costumizations (best is to delete or rename your Interace, WDB, WTF folder)

; Black Background on the Area wo seek

; Only works with white text

To do:

make the searching faster

multi line reading

edit: added char_def and char_def_maker

wow_ocr.zip

Hi!

I did something similar some time ago. It would be perfect, if you could realize it as a plugin coded in C/C++!

I don't seem to have "wow_ocr_char_deff.au3" to include for compilation. I'd like to develop these things into a general purpose screenreader, from the active window.

i am lost what is the purpose of an OCR reader for WoW? ((there are mods that can save all chat to txt files though i guess thats a lua/xml solution and not pure AutoIT)) :">

Uhm... you don't know much about wow API do you? You can not save anything to a file runtime, only into SavedVariables.lua and only when you logout or /console ReloadUI. Doing reloadui takes some time each time you do it so not an option to automaticaly do that

Whats OCR anyway?

Optical Character Recognition... basicaly getting text out of an image.
