Dynamic Text recognition

Asked by Bindu on 2013-01-18

Hi,

I need some help in recognizing the text from the screen that comes dynamically, is there any way other than using region.text() and using an offset image. I can see a TextRecognizer class in sikuli script jar file, but I am not sure how to use it and whether it really recognizes the text.. Please help me out.

Thanks,
Bin

Region.text() IS IN FACT the function to OCR-read text from a given region on the screen (it internally uses class TextRecognizer, but it does not make any sense to step down to that level).

Be aware: bug 710586

Thanks for the quick response RaiMan, it is really appreciable. I also want to know if there is any other way to recognize the text apart from region.text() and find("img.png).text()
