Share My Creation Screen OCR in 5 minutes and 50 lines!

Exactly like the thread title! 5 minutes. 50 lines...

1 - Download and install Tesseract (<15Mb): https://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr-alt/files/
2 - Install Tesseract in "C:\TO" - OR change the DoOcr sub to match the location where you installed it
3 - Start the program. Move the frame to the position of the screen where the text to be read is.
4 - Click OCR!
5 - That's it!

hi, com libjAWT Robot ver. 1.55 does not recognize the commands,"c3po.runCommand"-"c3po.rectangleAsArbitrary"-"c3po.CreateScreenCaptureToFile"

Sub DoOCR
 
    c3po.runCommand("C:\TO\tesseract frame.png text")
End Sub
error
Sub ScreenCapture
    c3po.rectangleAsArbitrary(OCRFrame.f.WindowLeft, OCRFrame.f.WindowTop, OCRFrame.f.Width, OCRFrame.f.Height)
    c3po.CreateScreenCaptureToFile("Frame.png")
End Sub

Roberto deve ser brasileiro... Tem um monte de jeito de resolver isso. Um deles é usar a 1.0 (anexa).

Pode também usar o jshell:

Sub DoOCR
    Dim shl As Shell
    shl.Initialize("", "C:\TO\tesseract", Array As String("frame.png", "text"))
    shl.WorkingDirectory = File.DirApp
    shl.Run(1000)
    'c3po.runCommand("C:\TO\tesseract frame.png text")    ' change tesseract folder if needed
End Sub

Hi:jroriz Can use Chinese, I copy chi_sim.traineddata into tesseract-OCR\tessdata ,But can,t use

Hi.
You will need to change
c3po.runCommand("C:\TO\tesseract frame.png text")
to
c3po.runCommand("C:\TO\tesseract frame.png text -l chi_sim")

There are newer versions of tessdata, with better-trained files.
Google it and make tests.

Note that there are other parameters you can try:

Usage:tesseract imagename outputbase [-l lang] [-psm pagesegmode] [configfile...
]

pagesegmode values are:
0 = Orientation and script detection (OSD) only.
1 = Automatic page segmentation with OSD.
2 = Automatic page segmentation, but no OSD, or OCR
3 = Fully automatic page segmentation, but no OSD. (Default)
4 = Assume a single column of text of variable sizes.
5 = Assume a single uniform block of vertically aligned text.
6 = Assume a single uniform block of text.
7 = Treat the image as a single text line.
8 = Treat the image as a single word.
9 = Treat the image as a single word in a circle.
10 = Treat the image as a single character.
-l lang and/or -psm pagesegmode must occur before anyconfigfile.

Single options:
-v --version: version info
--list-langs: list available languages for tesseract engine

Hugs.

Did you adapt the code to match the folder where you installed it?
