[2.0.5] OCR: does not work with a username containing non-ASCII

What do you mean by file?
OCR is done against images (might come from a file)?

You might run a tesseract command or a Java Runnable in a subprocess.

Why background? What runs in foreground?

Hello!
By file I mean PNG or JPG or JPEG etc... (So its dowloaded)
My bot is running background and I want the OCR in background as well.

Thanks,
Zodey

Is SikuliX on class path?

if yes, what version?

If not, have a look at Tess4J (used with SikuliX) or (as mentioned) use a tesseract command in a subprocess.

I dont know what is class path, but I added it in InteliJ if thats it. The latest version (2.0.5).

So you seem to be a newbie with Java???

Did you write the bot yourself or is it a fork from somewhere?

I ask this, because SikuliX features cannot really be used in "background", which means, while a SikuliX workflow is running, you cannot use the machine for something else.

I wrote the bot with Selenium. Well, I think I just left the beginner state. Im on the part when I learn new thinks easily, just like SikuliX (I mean there is no yt tutorial for SikuliX but I can understand it from the Documentation). Now currently I am learning OOP, I know method overloading, constructor overloading, ecaputulation (at least something like that, I'm on mobile idk how to write it correctly ;D), method chaining, I understand static (can be used without creating a new object), etc... The reason for not understand those keywords is I learn Java in my native language (hungarian). And I am 16 years old if you want to know so Im a bit bad in English.

Ok, wish you all the best.

In SikuliX class Image has a static convenience method wrapping features of class OCR:

String textRead = Image.text("path-of-imagefile.png")

Thank you, but I need some help again.
I wrote a simple app (just print the textRead string), but an exception come up.

How can i set the " TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable" to the "tessdata" directory?

Then you have to check your setup.

I have this simple main:

package com.sikulix.sikulixrun;

import org.sikuli.script.App;
import org.sikuli.script.Image;
import org.sikuli.script.support.RunTime;

public class SXTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        final String text = Image.text("C:\\Users\\rmhde\\SikuliX\\_205\\img.png");
        System.out.println(text);

        System.exit(0);

    }
}

... and in my IDEA project I have in the Project Settings -> Modules -> Dependencies a pointer to the location where I have downloaded the SikuliX IDE jar.

Everything works as expected.

Strange, I did everything as you wrote it down. Before, I used Maven with VSCode but I downloaded InteliJ for it, set everything, and still the same error. I think I need to add something to my path but Im not sure.

Nothing extra needed on path when using IDEA and SikuliX this way.

Delete the folder
C:\Users\Bálint István\AppData\Roaming\Sikulix

and try again.

Another test might be to delete the mentioned folder, start the SikuliX IDE from command line and check wether this works:
print selectRegion().text()

... at script run select an area containing text

I created a video of it: https://streamable.com/89w4v3

[error] script [ asd ] stopped with error in line 1
[error] java.lang.Error ( java.lang.Error: Invalid memory access )
[error] --- Traceback --- error source first
line: module ( function ) statement
1: main ( <module> ) print selectRegion().text()
[error] --- Traceback --- end --------------

Again delete the folder
C:\Users\Bálint István\AppData\Roaming\Sikulix

run the IDE as before from command line, but add -v -c as parameters

as script use
Debug.on(3)
print SCREEN
r = selectRegion()
print r.text()

and send me the output you get on command line to may mail shown at https://github.com/RaiMan

user got a workaround.
