Settings.ImageCallback not working --- only works with exists/wait/find

Asked by Sahil Doshi

I am using SikuliAPI in Java.

Settings.AlwaysResize = 0.0;

Settings.ImageCallback = new ImageCallback(){
   public BufferedImage callback(Image img) {
    System.out.println("called");
    return ImageHelper.convertImageToGrayscale(img.get());
   }
  };

But callBack is not working.

can you help me with this?

the ImageCallback is not implemented for the text/OCR functions.

It only works with exists/wait/find/findAll and there only for the given images to search for.

In your case you want to manipulate the base image (capture of the region), that is given to OCR.

You have to implement your own solution

//pseudo code
image = region.capture()
newImage = convert(image)
text = newImage.text()

another option is to play with the Tesseract options/settings

--- one which provided in wait
... as mentioned above:
... and there only for the given images to search for.

How can I set Tesseract configs from TextRecognizer.setConfigs?

You have to dive into the Tesseract world.
