SikuliX

Is Sikulix 1.1 using the latest version of Tesseract OCR?

Asked by Ib Al

I am experimenting with Tesseract OCR that comes with sikulix 1.1.0 - however, I find it very inaccurate in finding text on a screen (especially text for files on a Finder window).

Questions:
1) Is sikulix using the latest Tessract OCR code, if not how can I manually update it?

2) Any advice how to get sikulix-tesseract find text more accurately?
- Small text such as in Finder windows cannot be found

Thanks.

Yes it uses the latest version.

The problem: the implementation is unchanged since 4 years and will only be optimized in version 2 of SikuliX.

You might either try with the Tesseract from command line or enhance the respective image according to Tesseract's rules before trying to read the text.

Since you are talking about Finder windows: you can access the file system directly with python features (list directories e.g.) - no need to do that visually.

Can you help with this problem?
