OCR ?

Hello,

Does anyone know is OCR possible in C2?

eg. jpg or pdf with some text to be read and transfered into variable or via json etc.

tnx!

it can if you can write your own extensions... but that's beyond me. I'm sure there's been something similar on the forums before.

First you need to load that js library. You can do that by running this js at the start of the layout:

"var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'http://antimatter15.com/ocrad.js/ocrad.js';
script.onreadystatechange = script.onload = function(){console.log('occad.js loaded');};
head.appendChild(script);"[/code:2pnob2x6]

It can take time to load, so you shouldn't try using it right away.  You can tweak it so you're signaled when it's done loading but it makes things more complicated, so for now you can wait a second or so before trying to use it.

The one function used in that link is OCRAD(c), where "c" is an html5 canvas.  The only readily available one would be the game canvas which can be gotten with document.getElementById('c2canvas').

In my test I did this to get the result:

time=1 seconds:
--- set text to Browser.ExecJS("OCRAD(document.getElementById('c2canvas'))")

thanx!!!

Just a side note you can safely remove the second execute javascript action, it does nothing.

I have no solution for that nw.js issue. It's not anything we're doing wrong, it's probably just a problem with the library.
