    How to Use Tesseract OCR and ImageMagic (both open source) to read values from a

    n X-Window
    screen such as ICC or SMDH:
    Installation of tools:
    Both programs have minimal impact on the system. Tesseract only updates PATH, T
    EMP, and TMP environment variables and creates TESSDATA_PREFIX. It creates two
    registry entries under HKEY_CURENT_USER/Software/Tesseract-OCR; Version (3.00),
    and Install Dir (C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR).

    Configuration folders:
    doc
    tessdata
    configs
    tessconfigs
    training
    Files in top level folder:
    uninstall.exe
    tesseract.exe
    leptonlib.dll
    gzip.exe

    ImageMagic can be installed anywhere. The relocateable Windows version doesn't


    rely on any
    dll's or registry settings. Just use the full path when invoking convert.exe
    Windows Vista, XP, and NT Install:
    In order to keep full path names reasonably short, I have installed it at C:\Ima
    geMagick-6.6.7-4.
    To keep it even shorter, and independant of release number, should probably just
    use C:\ImageMagick\.
    Most of what gets installed (i.e. copied) is not needed. In fact we could proba
    bly survive with just convert.exe copied into an existing folder in the Windows
    PATH.
    Download ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-6.6.7-0-Q16-wi
    ndows-static.exe
    Execute it (or "open" it from your browser) to start the installation.
    Once ImageMagick is installed, Select Start->Programs->Command Prompt.
    In the Command Prompt window type
    convert logo: logo.gif
    imdisplay logo.gif

    // Use ImageMagic to translate blue and dark blue to black


    C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR>\ImageMagick-6.6.7-4\convert IOM\COMPOUNDS.tif -f
    ill black -opaque blue -opaque "rgb(0,0,153)" IOM\COMPOUNDS_BWY.tif {ENTER}
    // if necessary, use ImageMagic to translate yellow to white, but so far recogni
    tion
    // has been 100% with yellow or white
    C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR>\ImageMagick-6.6.7-4\convert IOM\COMPOUNDS_BWY.ti
    f -f
    ill white -opaque "rgb(255,252,0)" IOM\COMPOUNDS_BW.tif {ENTER}
    // Use Tesseract to find text in the enhanced image. Tess adds the .txt suffix
    // You have to run in the Tesseract directory in order for the Leptonic (?) dll
    to work.
    // But it seems to handle data in subfolders so...
    C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR>tesseract IOM/COMPOUNDS_BW.tif IOM/COMPOUNDS {ENT
    ER}
    Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine with Leptonica
    C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR>type IOM\COMPOUNDS.txt {ENTER}
    H21FCP_STA
    H21FCP_ECB
    H21_FBM232
    C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR>

    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Convert any box with Cyan text to white on black:
    // convert cyan to white
    convert FOO.tif -fill white -opaque "rgb(0,160,158)" FOO_W.tif
    //convert menu gray and dark blue to black
    convert FOO_W.tif -fill black -opaque "rgb(0,0,153)" -opaque "rgb(114,114,114)"
    FOO_BW.tif

    Screen capture using AutoIT _ScreenCapture_Capture function requires GDI+: GDI+


    requires a redistributable for applications that run on the Microsoft Windows NT
    4.0 SP6, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows Me operating systems.
