OCR in TestComplete

OCR which might be the last choice for identify object/text in screen in TestComplete.

Open OCR sample at,

C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestComplete 5\Samples\Scripts\OCR\OCR.pjs

Just run it.

There are 2 parts of code, but below is the key point,

TextToFind = "E-mail";

Pic = wOfficeListBox.Picture(0, 0, wOfficeListBox.Width, wOfficeListBox.Height, false);

OCRObjList = OCR.CreateObject(Pic);

FindRes = OCRObjList.FindRectByText(TextToFind);

The only part you need to replace is Pic = wOfficeListBox.Picture(0, 0, wOfficeListBox.Width, wOfficeListBox.Height, false);

You could use the way in this sample if you could get the object, otherwise you could always use Sys.Desktop.ActiveWindow() to get the window snapshot and specify the coordinates of the area you care, and do the OCR, the recognition speed is good.

And check TestComplete Help for topic “Recognition Tips” to know which area is better for your case.
