Earlier versions of TestComplete (prior to version 12.60) used the built-in optical character recognition library. In version 12.60, it was removed from TestComplete and has been replaced with a new optical character recognition engine featuring Google Vision API.
If you have tests that use the deprecated optical character recognition library, you can do one of the following:
-
Modify your tests to use the new OCR feature (recommended).
