OCR - Issues

[kumar Siddappa]

I have donwloaded the ASpire OCR zipped file and unzipped

Copied the DLL files ( ASpireOCr.dll , DEVIL and iLU DLL to system32 folder)

Added the aspireOCr jar file to eclipse external jar

Now written a script to read the text inside The image 

I have added the Environment Path value as D:/Aspires - this folder consist of unzipped data 

also have added the Environment classpath D:\ASpires\aspriseOCR.jar

Now when i run the script

WebDriver fire = new FirefoxDriver();

fire.get("http://www.mythoughts.co.in/2013/10/extract-and-verify-text-from-image.html");

String urlOfImage=fire.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='post-body-5614451749129773593']/div[1]/div[1]/div/a/img")).getAttribute("src");

System.out.println("image text"+urlOfImage);

URL url = new URL(urlOfImage);

Image i0 = ImageIO.read(url);

String s = new OCR().recognizeEverything((RenderedImage) i0);    // exception got is here 

System.out.println(s); 

 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no AspriseOCR in java.library.path

Can any one please help me out in correcting it ?

This doesn't appear to be a selenium issue or question. Try making sure AspriseOCR is in your build path.

You can try this free online ocr to extract text from image

Too bad that free online ocr doesn't offer an API, otherwise be easy to incorporate into test code w/o having to Selenium automate the darn online ocr page to do the ocr.
