Whats the dependency of the MODI object?

MODI2003.exe is what you need, I don't think Office is required at all...although I could be wrong.

Odd. Installed it, Says the object doesnt exist.

EDIT::

Appears, All there is in that is a helpfile, A html page. and a messagebox that says "LULULULINSTALLED".

EDIT:::

"Important The MODI programmability features that are described in this document are available only in Microsoft® Office Document Imaging 2003. The Microsoft® Office XP version of Document Imaging did not include a progammable object model."

Don't know what to tell you...I have Office installed on my PC, so it worked out of the box...

Maybe try to regsrv32 that dll.

hello there, i'm trying the ocr script as well and i've found a problem that i'm not able to avoid

If the captured part of the screen doesn't contain any text to ocr, the script stops himself with an error.

C:\Programmi\AutoIt3\Examples\OCR SCRIPT.au3 (52) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

$oDoc.Ocr(16, True, False)

$oDoc.Ocr(16, True, False)^ ERROR

>Exit code: 1 Time: 24.917

this is the code that i'm using

expandcollapse popup

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

while 1
   FileInstall( "c:\programmi\MiniCap\MiniCap.exe", @SYSTEMDIR & "\" )
    $sTargetImage = "D:\programmi\ocrtesto.gif"
    $sTargetTitle = "Last Land"
    WinWaitActive( $sTargetTitle )
    sleep (100)
;Capture the target by position
    $aPos = WinGetPos( $sTargetTitle )
    $sSwitches = ' -save "' & $sTargetImage & '"'
    $sSwitches &= ' -captureregion ' & 310 & ' ' & 640 & ' ' & 634 & ' ' & 683
    $sSwitches &= ' -exit'
    RunWait( @COMSPEC & ' /c minicap.exe ' & $sSwitches, "", @SW_HIDE)

$oMagic = ObjCreate("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1")  
    
$ret = $oMagic.Convert("d:\programmi\ocrtesto.gif", _
    "-black-threshold", "88%", "d:\programmi\ocrtesto1.gif")
    sleep (1000)

Can you upload your image ?

[voldor]

Hello, as i've got to screenshot small part of screen in order to OCR that part of the screen MODI returns ERROR ( the image is too small to be recognized).

So what i would like to do is to screenshot part of the screen, and paste the screenshot in a bigger image on disk and ask MODI to recognize the new created picture.

My problem is that i have no API to modify a .TIFF image by "inserting" my screenshot and saving the result.

Does anybody knows how to do that ?

Thanks for your precious help.
