OCRRegion class

Platform: Selenium

Language: Python

An object of this type is used to define where OCR text extraction should be done.

Note

This feature is experimental. Please note that the functionality and/or API may change.

You can extract text from an application window using OCR by passing one or more OCRRegion objects to the method Eyes.extract_text. Each such object defines a region in the application window.

In addition, you can use the hint method to specify literal text or a regular expression-like pattern that should match the text found. The pattern passed as a hint helps overcome ambiguities that arise when using OCR. It can be used, for example, to distinguish between the digit 0 (zero) and the letter O.

For more information see Eyes OCR support.

Python
element = driver.find_element_by_id("btn_click_txt")
texts_found = eyes.extract_text(
    OCRRegion(element),

    OCRRegion("#btn_click_txt").hint("click me"),
    OCRRegion("h2"),
    OCRRegion("#allpage")
)
for i, text in enumerate(texts_found):
    print("{}) found '{}'".format(i, text))
