Just use the latest 2.0.2, where Text/OCR is completely revised (simplified on one hand and open for any Tesseract-tweaking on the other).

Read an overview:
https://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/textandocr.html

javadocs about the new OCR features:
https://raiman.github.io/SikuliX1/javadocs/org/sikuli/script/OCR.html

The class OCR allows to read text from various SikuliX sources and to identify lines and words as matches/regions.

Come back, if you need to find text in a Region (since I am currently busy to revise/complete the docs).

But with some luck you might find what you need already in the current Region javadoc:

use
OCR.globalOptions().dataPath()
OCR.globalOptions().language()

or the respective Settings attributes.

see the docs:
