OCR in Vision Builder for AI

[kodet]

Hi,

We're developimg some automated testing using VBAI. Is there any possibility to quickly learn your OCR using TTF or bitmaps containing characters? Dos exist some tool to convert bitmaps or TTF to .abc file?

Thanks a lot

how quick do you want?

As quick as possible 🙂

Hi,

I made a small utility that creates a character set file from a TTF file. If you're interested, I can send it to you.

The utility is made in LabVIEW, but I can build it against the same runtime engine that your VBAI uses, if you give me your VBAI version.

If you have a bitmap that contains all your characters on a single line, it is relatively fast to train all the charaters located on the same line at once, by specifying a ROI around them and the complete string in the control, instead of learning them character by character.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply. We're using VBAI 2011 🙂

Unfortunately right now we don't have bitmpaps in one file but each character or bitmap is separate (but it shouldn't be a problem to write a script for this purpose).
