Description

The OCROptions.Fonts property lets you get a FontCollection object to configure a custom collection of fonts and their attributes to be used during character recognition. To learn more about the role of fonts for character recognition in TestComplete, see Optical Character Recognition.

Declaration

OCROptionsObj.Fonts

Read-Only Property A FontCollection object
OCROptionsObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an OCROptions object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

OCROptions

Property Value

A FontCollection object.

Example

The following example obtains information on the font that is currently used in Windows Notepad and adds the font to the font collection to be used during the character recognition. After that, it recognizes the text written in Windows Notepad and posts it to the test log.

  var Rect = Window.Picture();
  Log.Picture(Rect, "Region with the text to be recognized");

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

  // Calls the Font dialog and obtains the font currently used in Notepad
