Real OCR in AU3 - in a few lines.

Recommended Posts

I for the life of me can not get this to work. I've installed everything related to the MODI.

I'm currently getting an error at lines 48 and 49 before the GUI opens. When I close the window, I have a couple errors at line 68 before the ArrayDisplay.

Line 48: $miDoc.Create("C:\WINXP\Fonts\TIMES.TTF")

Line 49: $miDoc.Ocr($miLANG_ENGLISH, True, False)

Line 68: For $oWord in $miDoc.Images(0).Layout.Words

Line 69: $str = $str & $oWord.text & @CrLf

Line 70: ConsoleWrite($oWord.text & @CRLF)

Line 71: $sArray [$i] = $oWord.text

Line 72: $i += 1

Line 73: Next

I haven't made any changes to the original script from the first post except for in line 48, the font.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been working on this for a couple days now.

What happens if you change Line 48 to

$miDoc.Create("::{D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524152}" & "\Times.ttf")

All of the line numbers have increased by one due to adding the prior suggestion, it has been commented out though.

@strate

If the script stops at line 48, the main reason will be that :

1. the TIFF file does NOT exist BEFORE running the script.

2. or the PATH cannot be found by the script.

I see that you don't use the default %Windir% location of a standard XP installation.

Because your PathName is "WINXP" and should be in a standard installation "Windows"

Therefor you can do 2 ways. Try to move the file you are trying to scan into the Script location and try again.

Or replace the Path in the script by %WINDIR%\Fonts

Well, I'm a fool, thanks. I googled other MODI.Create statements and found that in the rush and excitement of trying this script that I changed that I thought the image to scan was supposed to be a font file.

Needlessly it's working now.

@All

Who have Errors ?!

I ran the example script from the first page, and everything works fine, under this condition.

The CREATE method DOES NOT CREATE ANYTHING.

You need to make sure that the fill you are scanning is in that location.

$miDoc.Create("C:\Temp\Test.tif")

Confusion, I know but that how MS has created it, I can't help it.

I traced the problem I was having to Minicap saving the screenshot as a rather small image, I think. When I took a screenshot manually and cropped it the OCR worked fine.

SmOke_N suggested modifying _Screen_Capture.au3; I'm going to try that now and see if I can get good results.

Still doesn't work for me

Object referenced outside a "With" statement.: 
For $oWord in $miDoc.Images(0).Layout.Words 
For $oWord in $miDoc.Images(0)^ ERROR

Thanks, this is great. These additions/changes made it more user friendly for me:

$FilePath = FileOpenDialog("Select the new file", "", "All files (*.*)", 1) ;browse for the image file

If @error Then

MsgBox(4096,"","No File chosen")

exit

EndIf

$miDoc.Create($FilePath)

Hi everybody,

The script doesn't work on my pc. Studing the problem with "OLE/COM Objet Viewer" tool I found the "Microsoft Office Document Imaging Application", but when I try to see more details about it, a popup message notifies me that "CoGetClassObject failed. <no system message defined> REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG ($80040154)".

Will you help me, please?

p.s.:

please be patience with me for two reasons:

a - I'm just a newbie

b - My English is very bad!!!
