Screen Clipping Script is not extracting words/letters from images and showing error? Please Help?

18 Dec 2018, 13:04

I downloaded Screen clip script from here-(this site link is this- http://the-automator.com/?s=ocr)

Image



When I drag the mouse pointer holding down window key then it crops the specific area successfully but when I press ^t (ctrl + t) to extract the letters/words from specific image then it produce this error-

Image



Every time when I try to extract words from image then it shows this error. I think its “perform OCR on Image” is not working. Please look-

Image




Please help me. Thanks a lot..

Sorry, I wish I had time to help but this would be pretty tough to track down and I don't have the time right now. The only issue that I'm aware of / have run into is what is the "bitness" of windows your running as well as what is the bittness of AutoHotkey.

sorry...

In this webinar http://the-automator.com/autohotkey-web ... -programs/ Jackie showed how to to use Tesseract. That's where I got the idea (and code) to incorporate into my screen clipping script.

Dear Joe Glines, I have cracked it !!!! :superhappy:


Sir, I did not do much to fix it. I only downloaded Vis2-2017-08.zip from https://github.com/iseahound/Vis2/releases and updated tesseract.exe in your Screen Clipping with OCR folder and it got fixed. I faced a couple of minor problems which i fixed manually, like when i select specific area and press ^t, it was showing error "Input image for conversion not found." So I have to first save the image by pressing ^s and then i press ^t, then it successfully does OCR and saves the text into clipboard. Anyway, I am quite thankful to you dear Joe, for your support and encouragement.

(Moreover i watched your video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9YdMh6h7NM&t=47s which is awesome)

Thanks a lot sir.. :bravo: :bravo: :bravo:

After you use the screen clipping tool, you need to click on the image(screen clip) , then hit control T. That might prevent you from having to save it first.

Glad you got it working!
