Is it possible to integrate Screen OCR SDK with AutoHotkey?
Yes. Please insert the following into a script:
----------
^!h::
oScreenOCR := ComObjCreate("TxtrCtl.TxtrCtl")
oScreenOCR.Init
oScreenOCR.ReadScreen(0, 0, 500, 500)
ocrText := oScreenOCR.Text
oScreenOCR.Term
MsgBox % ocrText
----------
This example uses hotkey Ctrl-Alt-H. When this key combination is pressed, the OCR engine captures an area (0,0) - (500,500) and displays a large message box with the text captured.
Please don't forget to build a font database first. To do so, run any sample included with Screen OCR SDK and click Build font database.
Can I get a license for Screen OCR SDK for free?
Yes. As a special promotion, we give away one license in exchange for Java example. The example should be similar to ours, with clear comments. Contact us
