OCRFile input file

[Krep]

Hello folks!

Does OCRFile require a bitmap file or can it use JPEGs? (If it does, perhaps this would be good to mention in the help page description of the command).

If it requires BMP can Macroscheduler convert JPEG to BMP?

-Thanks!
-Still kicking!

I'm guessing you haven't tried it as you'd have experienced an error. The answer is that OCRImage can't use JPEGS.

If it requires BMP can Macroscheduler convert JPEG to BMP?

You can do that with Macro Scheduler and ImageMagick. Here's an example :

Code: Select all

//ImageMagick Path
let>IMPath=C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.9-Q16\magick

//ImageMagick command
Let>IMcommand=mogrify -format bmp d:\ThisIsATest33.jpg

//Run ImageMagick
RunProgram>%IMPath% %IMcommand%

//OCRImage
OCRImage>d:\ThisIsATest33.bmp,res1

It's well worth investing some time into ImageMagick - coupled with Macro Scheduler it can achieve remarkable things! But I'll warn you, once you scratch the surface it'll draw you in.
