Looking for free OCR code

[Turnsleft]

As I see these new programs being used to read globals/hofs from our EU screens, Im assuming someone has or knows of a decent OCR package available that I could use to integrate into a small project Im working on.

Anyone care to shed some light on there preferences?

Im prob gonna code in C++ or C#.

Cheers Turns

Cuneiform was a big commercial OCR before they went OS.

but its not what you want to use with EU, people use much simplier ways to OCR EU chat since it uses static fonts, like 2d array comparison =)

If you're an uber like me and BruuD, you can write your own OCR class

If not, you can use BruuD's OCR class which I believe is open source:
OCR the EU chat

The one problem I have with these OCR classes that have been appearing is that I havnt the foggiest idea on how to use them.

About a year ago i "developed" my own system using off the shelf software. Its neither elegant or slick but it works 100%.

I would sure like to use these new classes that bruud and others have developed, is it beyond the realms of possibility to make them work "out of the box"?

The OCR class i've released just describes a method of OCR.
It can be applied on various applications, but in my class it is configured to understand the EU chat window.
You do need a fairly good programming knowledge in order to use or modify it tho.
It was never meant as out-of-the-box solution

Thanks for that guys, its not an EU project but Bruud if u have no objections I'll hack away to make it work for me, give you some credit and post the class back on here when Im done
