get OCR from canvas

[Alex Arshavski]

Hi,

I have a django project that need to do OCR on the stuff user writes in canvas.

Does somebody knows how to do that in javascript or how to send the data to server and do it with python?

Looked at pytesser library, but it doesn't work for me for some reason.

Thanks, Alex A.

Yehonatan,

Regarding the first one:

I don't really understand how I use it on my client side. If I follow their example, where I take util and node-ocr from?

Do I need coffee script/node/require.js in order to use it? And how I use it?

Regarding the second one:

Tried their decode function, but it's not working for me for some reasons. And as far as I understand, it can only decode white on black captchas.

Thanks, Alex A.
