OCR Features
WinTask records/replays using the individual objects seen on the
screen, either Windows objects or HTML objects. If an object under
automation is not seen, mouse coordinates are used automatically.
Mouse coordinates are not reliable as soon as the automation script has
to run on different PCs with different screen resolution. Plus the script
is difficult to read and maintain. Instead of using mouse coordinates,
bitmaps can be used to identify with a meaningful name the objects under
automation. But still this method of image recognition is awkward and not
reliable when the objects at replay are not at the same place.
That's why we introduced in our latest WinTask Full version the use of OCR engines
(Optical Character Recognition). One is included in WinTask, and one uses
the OCR engine which is included in Microsoft Office 2003/2007. This last
one gives astonishing results and allows WinTask to click properly on
non-HTML objects/non pure Windows objects, just using the text of the
object. And WinTask OCR functions allow you to look for the object
anywhere in a window, so the object can be found even if it is not at the
same place at replay.
With WinTask Full version new OCR functions, you get a readable automation script
and a reliable replay.
Plus WinTask Full version includes OCR Capture functions : retrieve directly the
content of a form seen as an image, the content of an applet, ...
The OCR functions available in WinTask Full version are:
- CaptureOCR$, captures what is seen in the specified window, OCRizes the content and returns the text as analysed by the OCR
engine
- CaptureAreaOCR$, captures what is seen in the specified area of the specified window, OCRizes the content and returns the text as analysed by the OCR
engine
- ClickOnTextOCR, clicks on the specified text as analysed by
the OCR engine
- Synchronization on Text OCR, waits until the specified text
as analysed by the OCR engine is displayed within the specified
window, or within a part of the window
- UseOCREngine, specifies which OCR engine will be used by subsequent OCR function
calls
