Thanks Malcev, my mistake, for some reason I needed to put the full path of to my test image... works super fast and is fantastic.
... now to hook it up to the screenclipper script that's floating around.

Love it! Fast and not flaky like the tesseract library.

Thank you very much.

I updated 1 post.
Now, I think You can use dont need put full path.
Also it checks for file existance.
Also I added code for recognizing screenshots by teadrinker.

Hi @malcev , this script is very cool! :dance:

I would like to create a 'click on text' using your ocr.
how can I obtain a recursive function to search in the full screen, some words, dividing it like a puzzle. Then, pointing the mouse in the middle of the successul area (which contains the strings) and click or double click on it...

Great idea by adegard and excellent execution by malcev!
Dpi independent, zoom independent, resolution independent... Many thanks!

Very nice!!

Does anyone have a idea, why there is different position of mouse cursor and yellow box?

Probably you should use CoordMode, Mouse, Screen or
...
WinGetPos, wx, wy, ww, wh, A
hBitmap := HBitmapFromScreen(wx, wy, ww, wh)

Excellent @malcev,
I insert here a little test in your OCR function with a third parameter "Find_Text" : ocr(pIRandomAccessStream, "en", Find_Text)
Now I check for a word, and click on it!
Spoiler
But what can I do to check more words in my string (sequence of words like "AutoHotkey Community")

You can do something like:

Code: Select all

        ...
        text .= StrGet(buffer, "UTF-16") " "
        if InStr(text, Str:= "AutoHotkey Community", 1) {
            last:=StrLen("Community"), total:= StrLen(Str), wt:=total*w/last, Found:= 1
            MouseClick,, x+w-wt//2, y+h//2 ; approximately middle of the string
            SoundBeep, 1400 ; audio feed back
        } 
        ObjRelease(OcrWord)
        if Found {
            ObjRelease(WordsList)
            ObjRelease(OcrLine)
            Break 2
        }
      ObjRelease(WordsList)
      ObjRelease(OcrLine)
   }
Addendum: Further function change: More user friendly + multiple text/string detection.

Code: Select all

    ...
    m:=ocr(pIRandomAccessStream, "en", "AutoHotkey Community")
    for i, j in m
        MouseClick,, m[i].1, m[i].2
    ...
Return

ocr(file, lang := "FirstFromAvailableLanguages", Str:= "")
{
   ...
   loop % count
   {
      DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(LinesList+0)+6*A_PtrSize), "ptr", LinesList, "int", A_Index-1, "ptr*", OcrLine)
      DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(OcrLine+0)+6*A_PtrSize), "ptr", OcrLine, "ptr*", WordsList)   ; get_Words
      DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(WordsList+0)+7*A_PtrSize), "ptr", WordsList, "int*", WordsCount)   ; Words count
      A_Index<2? (coord:= [], f:= "", wl:= (Arr:=StrSplit(Str, " ")).Length()): ""
      loop % WordsCount
      {
         DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(WordsList+0)+6*A_PtrSize), "ptr", WordsList, "int", A_Index-1, "ptr*", OcrWord)
         VarSetCapacity(RECT, 16, 0)
         DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(OcrWord+0)+6*A_PtrSize), "ptr", OcrWord, "ptr", &RECT)   ; get_BoundingRect

         buffer := DllCall("Combase.dll\WindowsGetStringRawBuffer", "ptr", hText, "uint*", length, "ptr")
         x := NumGet(&RECT, 0, "float")
         y := NumGet(&RECT, 4, "float")
         w := NumGet(&RECT, 8, "float")
         h := NumGet(&RECT, 12, "float")
         
         if ((tl:=StrSplit(text, " ").Length()) > wl) {
            txt:= StrSplit(text, " "), text:= ""
            loop % tl-1 
                A_Index>1? text.= txt[A_Index] " ": ""
         } text.= StrGet(buffer, "UTF-16")
         
         if (text = Str) {
            last:=StrLen(Arr[wl]), total:= StrLen(Str), wt:=total*w/last
            Coord.Push([x+w-wt//2, y+h//2])
         } else text.= " "
         
         ObjRelease(OcrWord)
      }
      ObjRelease(WordsList)
      ObjRelease(OcrLine)
   }
   ...
   return Coord
}
Note: For strings consisting of multiple words: OCR sometimes finds columns in the text so applied concatenation might not always match passed string!

This is an excellent OCR tool. Thank you @malcev , @teadrinker and, for the rectangle drawing tool, @suoabb and @Rohwedder (see here https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=57919).

I often need to read a large number of PDF pages and collect specific information from these pages. Often these PDF's are not searchable and so copy/paste is out of the question. I slightly adapted this OCR script using a simplified (but just as effective) clipping tool. It adds the copy / paste functionality to non-searchable PDF's.
Shift Left-click and drag the orange rectangle.

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#singleinstance, force			; force, ignore, off
SetBatchLines, -1 				; For speed in general
SetWinDelay, -1   				; For speed of WinMove
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen

BW := 2           				; Border width (and height) in pixels
BC := "FF8800"       			; Border color
FirstCall := True

This is also an excellent tool for the visually impaired. If text is too small or too blurry to read, add sapi := ComObjCreate("SAPI.SpVoice") at top of the script and Sapi.Speak(text) instead of msgbox % text and the clipped text is read out loud.

I was thinking about a Xhair feature as well and have one that I liked but wanted to keep it simple for demo. Your Xhair is much "lighter" than what I had: (requires gdip)

Code: Select all

#Singleinstance force
#NoEnv
CoordMode, Mouse, screen
mouse_blocked 					:= false
count 							:= 1
SetTimer, pdt_drwng, 25

LButton::
MouseGetPos, oVarX%count%, oVarY%count%
if count = 2
	{
	SetTimer, pdt_drwng, off
	hotkey, LButton,,off
	gui, Drawing:destroy
	pToken 						:= Gdip_Startup()
	hdc_frame_full 				:= GetDC("")
	hdc_buffer_full 			:= CreateCompatibleDC(hdc_frame_full)
	hbm_buffer_full 			:= CreateCompatibleBitmap(hdc_frame_full, oVarX2 - oVarX1, oVarY2 - oVarY1)
	SelectObject(hdc_buffer_full, hbm_buffer_full)
	BitBlt(hdc_buffer_full, 0, 0, oVarX2 - oVarX1, oVarY2 - oVarY1, hdc_frame_full, oVarX1, oVarY1, 0x00CC0020)  
	bitmap_full 				:= Gdip_CreateBitmapFromHBITMAP(hbm_buffer_full, 0)
	DeleteDC(hdc_buffer_full)
	DeleteObject(hbm_buffer_full)
	goto, capture
	}
++count
return

pdt_drwng:
gui,Drawing:submit, nohide
if (!mouse_blocked)
	{                                                    						; This is the first time the pdt_drwng is run.

Nice OCR very fast! And it's not killing my CPU like tesseract! Thanks, guys.
How to implement hwnd here to get a screenshot from the window not the whole screen?


Edit

seems works

Code: Select all

HDC := DllCall("GetDC", "Ptr", hwnd, "UPtr")

In fact, I've set it up this way before. It still throws up this error. So it's hard to understand. I copied the code to a friend's computer and found that "ShowAvailableLanguages" can be displayed. But my computer has always been this error.so i don't know why.
