Hi,

I have started using Sikuli recently & found the text recognition feature very exciting.

I am facing a problem in reading text using Region.text().

Here is my program

r = [defined a region using "Create Region" button]
text = r.text()
openApp("C:\\Windows\\system32\\notepad.exe")
wait(2)
type(text)

On running this I get, ----- no text --- in the notepad and the following message

[error] Region.text: text recognition is currently switched off
[log] App.open C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe(5480)

[log] TYPE "--- no text ---"

[info] Exit code: 0

Do I have to enable to enable text recognition somewhere? I am using SikuliX-IDE-Beta999 and running it using the sikuli-ide.cmd provided for windows.

@Reinaldo
- you must have setup your stuff including option 5

then the above should work for using Region.text()

If not, use -Dsikuli.Debug=3 as Java runtime parameter and paste the relevant debug output.

Hi RaiMan,

I am getting the below error even after installing sikuli with option 5 and setting "Settings.OcrTextSearch" option to ON,

Code:
Settings.OcrTextSearch = True
r = [defined a region using "Create Region" button]
text = r.text()
print text

Error Message:
[error] Region.text: text recognition is currently switched off
--- no text ---

Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong.

Regards.

Hello, please, provide some details how get rid of this error in Eclipse IDE. (jython script)
Settings.OcrTextSearch = True doesn't help.
Should I add link to sikuli-tessdata.jar file in pythonpath to Pydev project? (Already did but it still doesn't works.)
I use sikuli 1.0.1, jython 2.5.3, mac os 10.10.
Thanks.

@Veronika
if you have run setup with the tesseract option, the simply delete the libs folder and start again.
The libs AND the tessdata folder will now be exported.
