Screen Text Returns "---no text---"

Asked by Nael Abd Aljawad

i'm using Java to get image text.
Java Code:
                        Settings.OcrTextSearch = true;
   Settings.OcrTextRead = true;
   screen.wait(imagePath, 10);
   screen.find(imagePath).text();

Last code line returns "no text", but while using tha IDE i get exact text.
What is the problem ? i have the same java code in another machine and it's working!
I have installed the package of OCR.

----- this is sufficient:
<dependency>
   <groupId>com.sikulix</groupId>
   <artifactId>sikulixapi</artifactId>
   <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

it will take care for sikulixlibswin automatically.

------ <dependency>
   <groupId>org.sikuli</groupId>
   <artifactId>sikuli-core</artifactId>
   <version>1.2.2</version>
</dependency>
does not belog to SikuliX (other project) and should not be used in the same project together with sikulixapi.

----- Java Code:
   Settings.OcrTextSearch = true;
   Settings.OcrTextRead = true;
   Match m = screen.wait(imagePath, 10);
   System.out.println(m.text()); // no need to search again

"---no text---" simply means, that nothing could be read.

I fixed it but still not working.
It's really strange! i run the same code on 2 different machines and i get different results!

-- same code on 2 different machines and i get different results!
... absolutely possible, since the result on the other machine depends on the graphics/fonts setup.
If it is not exactly the same you will always get different results or even no result as in your case.

Can you be more specified about graphics/fonts setup? How to check that in windows.

All the different Windows settings, that change the appearance (background, themes, fonts, ...)

Can you help with this problem?
