Example

The following example captures an image of the Windows Notepad window and uses it to create a new OCRObject. After that, it recognizes the characters written in Notepad and posts them to the test log.

JavaScript, JScript

function OCRobjectSample()
{
  var notepad, Window, Rect, OCRObj;
  // Obtains the Notepad window
  notepad = Sys.Process("notepad");
  Window = notepad.Window("Notepad", "*").Window("Edit");

  // Captures an image of the Notepad window and posts it to the test log
  Rect = Window.Picture();
  Log.Picture(Rect, "Region with the text to be recognized");

  // Creates an OCR object
  OCRObj = OCR.CreateObject(Rect);

  // Recognizes the text and posts it to the test log
  Log.Message("Recognized text:", OCRObj.GetText());

}

Python

def OCRobjectSample():
  # Obtains the Notepad window
  notepad = Sys.Process("notepad")
  Window = notepad.Window("Notepad", "*").Window("Edit")
  # Captures an image of the Notepad window and posts it to the test log 
  Rect = Window.Picture()
  Log.Picture(Rect, "Region with the text to be recognized")
  # Creates an OCR object 
  OCRObj = OCR.CreateObject(Rect)
  # Recognizes the text and posts it to the test log 
  Log.Message("Recognized text:", OCRObj.GetText())

VBScript

Sub OCRobjectSample

  ' Obtains the Notepad window
  Set notepad = Sys.Process("notepad")
  Set Window = notepad.Window("Notepad", "*").Window("Edit")

  ' Captures an image of the Notepad window and posts it to the test log
  Set Rect = Window.Picture
  Call Log.Picture(Rect, "Region with the text to be recognized")

  ' Creates an OCR object
  Set OCRObj = OCR.CreateObject(Rect)

  ' Recognizes the text and posts it to the test log
  Call Log.Message("Recognized text:", OCRObj.GetText)

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure OCRobjectSample();
var notepad, Window, Rect, OCRObj : OleVariant;
begin
  // Obtains the Notepad window
  notepad := Sys.Process('notepad');
  Window := notepad.Window('Notepad', '*').Window('Edit');

  // Captures an image of the Notepad window and posts it to the test log
  Rect := Window.Picture;
  Log.Picture(Rect, 'Region with the text to be recognized');

  // Creates an OCR object
  OCRObj := OCR.CreateObject(Rect);

  // Recognizes the text and posts it to the test log
  Log.Message('Recognized text:', OCRObj.GetText);

end;

C++Script, C#Script

function OCRobjectSample()
{
  var notepad, Window, Rect, OCRObj;
  // Obtains the Notepad window
  notepad = Sys["Process"]("notepad");
  Window = notepad["Window"]("Notepad", "*")["Window"]("Edit");

  // Captures an image of the Notepad window and posts it to the test log
  Rect = Window["Picture"]();
  Log["Picture"](Rect, "Region with the text to be recognized");

  // Creates an OCR object
  OCRObj = OCR["CreateObject"](Rect);

  // Recognizes the text and posts it to the test log
  Log["Message"]("Recognized text:", OCRObj["GetText"]());
