The method is applied to the following object:
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
function OCROptionsSample()

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
Log.Message("See the recognized text in the Details panel.", s);
