The Optical Character Recognition feature provided by the OCR plugin is deprecated. It was removed from TestComplete in version 12.60 and is no longer available for later versions. Instead, TestComplete version 12.60 introduces the new Optical Character Recognition engine featuring Google Cloud Vision API. To learn more, see Optical Character Recognition. If you need to use the legacy feature, please contact our Customer Care team. |

Parameters
The method has the following parameter:
Object
The onscreen object whose visible text you want to recognize.
Result Value
An OCRObject object used to perform character recognition within the visible area of the specified onscreen object.
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

var notepad, Window, Rect, OCRObj, s, X, Y;
// Obtain the Notepad window
notepad = Sys.Process("notepad");
Window = notepad.Window("Notepad", "*").Window("Edit");
// Capture an image of the Notepad window and post it to the test log
Rect = Window.Picture();
Log.Picture(Rect, "Region with the text to be recognized");
// Create an OCR object
OCRObj = OCR.CreateObject(Rect);
// Recognize the text
s = OCRObj.GetText();
// Post the recorgnized text to the test log
