Hi All,
For controls that you just want to strip the text content off (e.g. stubborn menu's!),
We found the following quite useful (and cheap)...

Its not 100% accurate because it doesnt contain a dictionary of words, but is useable enough.
It would be great if Ranorex provided something similar
Cheers

Re: OCR
Hey atom,
Thanks for the link. The library you suggested does not perform OCR, though, but some kind of GDI text API hijacking. Doesnt work with 64bit yet, but could be useful for legacy applications like Outlook 2007
We will give it a thought .. real OCR might also be useful ..

Re: OCR
Hiya
The difference can be "real" OCR can be slow, this GDI hijacking is quite fast... but not always accurate
We are now using it for owner drawn menu's, where ranorex cannot find the menu items
We use it to capture all text to a list, then from the list find the index position of a menu item, we then build a string like {alt}{enter}{down}...{down}{enter} to select the item!

Re: OCR
Especially in a quality position... why would you not want accuracy regardless of speed.
Even if it is fast, if you cannot know that the answer is correct it should be deemed wrong.
In my humble opinion...
