Help needed in gettign text from an image

Hi ,

It is difficult to fetch the text from the image.. as the text is shown as coloured pixels.



I am afraid , we can not fetch the text from image.



The thing is "Image" is an object which rendered with pixels. I am wondering , how we can read the pixels.



Need to do R&D on this. :)

Hi I had written the below code.

Set p = Sys.Process("mspaint").Window("MSPaintApp", "untitled.JPG - Paint", 1).Picture(0,0,-1,-1, true)

  set x= p.GetRect(135,331,137,346)

 Set OCRObj = OCR.CreateObject(x)

 Set ocrOpt = OCRObj.CreateOptions

 Set Font = ocrOpt.Fonts.Add

 Set Font = ocrOpt.Fonts.Add

 Font.Name="Arial"

 ocrOpt.ExactSearch=True

 ocrOpt.ActiveRecognitionSet=2

   ocrOpt.BinarizationThreshold =100  

 'Font.Styles.Add 2  ' Choosing bold font type

  vTempStr1 = OCRObj.GetText(ocrOpt)

     Msgbox vTempStr1

But i am not able to fetch  the entire string functional. Any thoughts on this?

Hi,

 This was just an example. Actually i was trying to fetch text from the title bar of an Afx Window(component developed in C++) and was unable to retrieve it. Tried to use the WndCaption property of the title bar and had nop success since part of the text changes dynamically when some error occurs. So thought of using the OCR technique.

Is there any way to solve my problem?

Hi Tanya,
