 Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:46 pm Post subject: Screengrab --> OCR -- text, GUI for options/results |
 |
|
Extension/modification of the script "Capture From Screen To ASCII Art",
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2774
It also makes kind of asci, by converting image to normal text, using a external ocr program.
The script first grabs a screen image, saving this to a file in ppm format, only using AutohotKey. This format was quite simple to use and needed for the OCR program.
Then the script does some preprocessing of the image for better OCR result, this is done with the external program mkbitmap and potrace from http://potrace.sourceforge.net.
After preprocessing it run gocr (OCR) on the preprosecced image, producing a text (hopefully).
Lastly (optionally) the script shows the intermediate results in a information window. This can also be used to trim the processes by altering diffrent options in the "About and Options" window accessable from the tray menu. This step needs the convert program from ImageMagic to make the bmp image files for the GUI.
Left to be done is to make use of a ini file for storing options.
2007-07-19
Change: Programs paths for dependencies is declared in the beginning, and added running gocr thru cmd /c (seems needed on some systems???)

How fast is this code?
I'm thinking of using something like this to read some screen text during some game play and fire off key-events back to the game, but if it's too slow it won't work.
I guess I'll have to experiment, some.
Excellent work there, btw. It's almost exactly what I was looking for, so that'll make what I'm working on that much easier. |

Hehe. Never mind : Garbage in = garbage out.
gocr doesn't like negative images at all, but this can be corrected by proper use of invert image in the pre processing.
Nice script. |

Yes, I am having trouble with gocr also. Running gocr "path" failed.
I have tried all three versions of gocr including the one from May of 2005. |

Here is another OCR demo script: ShowOCRUnderMouse.zip (contains all needed files). It does not 'optimize' the image before OCRing, but I found that this 'optimizing' (with potrace or netpbm) does not really generate much better results.
| Quote: | This script will show the current text under mouse
It uses:
- GDIplusWrapper.ahk (by PhiLho)
Converts screen portion to jpg
- djpeg.exe
Converts jpg to pnm
- gocr.exe
OCRs the pnm file
- cmdret.dll/cmdstub.exe
Gets the result from gocr.exe
(since gocr.exe is a 16-bit program, cmdret.dll needs the cmdstub.exe)
When the script is running, you can press the Escape key anytime to exit
|
Enjoy! |

The amusing thing about the "optimizing" in the original script is that it is never used.
This line does the gocr call
| Code: |
RunWait, cmd /q /c %gocr_path%\gocr -i %TmpDir%\%TmpFile%.pbm -s %ocr_d% -d %ocr_d% -m %ocr_m% -n %ocr_n% -o %TmpFile%.txt, %TmpDir%, hide,
|
and it is using only the .pbm file, which was generated by mkbitmap, and not by potrace, even if potrace was run.
BTW -
While the GDI thing is pretty cool, I am planning on doing something that compares if the image under a particular static area has changed and only run the conversion and OCR on changed images. The GDI program fires off mouse-move which, of course, will change minutely the area every time, and so that event works great for that purpose.
For my purpose, the only reason to trigger a new parse is if the image changes, and for that, I need to know what the last image was, which means that I suspect GDI libraries will be less efficient for that purpose than an image comparison algorithm.
Interesting stuff. |

I've also noticed that the original poster's color space is wrong when capturing the original image. If one opens the original image in an image editor like PSP or ImageMagick, the blues are coming out reds.
Admittedly this makes little difference when performing conversion to black and white for OCR, but it crops up when doing an image comparison with images that may have been captured through other means. |

Although, on further investigation, this could be because he is using the "rarer" P3 ppm format instead of the "raw" P6 ppm format, and maybe the display programs don't know the difference.. Hmm - I suppose I need to investigate further. |

It should be the P3 format, its documented in the file at the top 
Wrong thought about the colors.
Done some testing with the Tesseract ORC engine, seems better than Gocr.

in the script.

I've been wanting to do OCR stuff like this for a very long time and I would love to see this script in action. Unfortunately, it doesn't work and only shows:
"One or more CON code pages invalid for given keyboard codeCannot execute C:\DOCUME~1\Murple\DESKTOP\SHOWOCRUNDERMOUSE\GOCR.EXE"
Does anyone know how to work around this?
I am running a Norwegian keyboard on a iMac (running WinXP in BootCamp). |

According to Microsoft, this is "only" information.
| Quote: | One or more CON code pages invalid for given keyboard code
The KEYB command examined all prepared code pages, and has found that at least one code page is incompatible for your screen console device (CON). This is only information to let you know that your keyboard and screen console are working with different code pages. |
You could try changing the code page with the chcp command
| Quote: | To change the active code page to 850 (Multilingual), type:
chcp 850 |
You could try adding something like the following in the ShowOCRUnderMouse.ahk, Chr(20) should become an Enter (ASCII-Code 20)
| Code: |
AnEnter := Chr(20)
CMDs =
(LTrim Join
djpeg.exe -pnm -grayscale %fileNameDestJ% in.pnm
,cmdstub.exe chcp 850 %AnEnter% gocr.exe -i in.pnm
) |
