[2.0.4] OCR Global settings not updated after setting Settings.OcrLanguages --- workaround

Asked by Daniel MASSACRIER on 2020-12-27

---------------------------- workaround

Settings.OcrLanguage= "fra"
OCR.reset() # take over Settings.OCR...
OCR.status()

------------------------------------------

I'm working with SIKULIX IDE 2.0.4 on Windows 7, and I would like to test OCR with french language.

I have the following code (OCR.py)

print "Before changing language:" + Settings.OcrLanguage
Settings.OcrLanguage= "fra"
print "After changing language :" + Settings.OcrLanguage
print OCR.status()
exit (1)

I run the program with SIKULIX IDE.
The result is

Before changing language:eng
After changing language:fra
None
Global settings OCR.Options:
data = null
language(eng) oem(3) psm(3) height(15,1) factor(1,99) dpi(96)
variables: user_defined_dpi:300
[info] Exit code: 1

and if I run a second time the same program with SIKULIX IDE, I have

Global settings OCR.Options:
data = null
language(fra) oem(3) psm(3) height(15,1) factor(1,99) dpi(96)
variables: user_defined_dpi:300
[info] Exit code: 1
Before changing language:eng
After changing language:fra
None

After the second run (and after all other runs), the language is correct (fra) in the OCR global settings.

I've got 2 questions:
- In the first run, why the language in OCR global settings does not change ?
- In the second run, why is there is mix in the order of the outputs ?

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I will check and come back

--- - In the second run, why is there is mix in the order of the outputs ?
This can always happen, if printout is coming from the script level (print ...) and from the Java level (OCR.status())

BTW: OCR.status() does not return anything (None), but itself creates printout at the Java level, hence use
OCR.status()
instead of
print OCR status()

see the workaround in the top post item.

I will optimise the behaviour in 2.0.5

Thanks for finding.
