OCRGetScale

Returns the image scale used for OCR. Use when debugging OCR statements to see the scale used and determine if changes are needed to improve the accuracy of returned text. The scale is set in the playback options or by the OCRSetScale statement. See Troubleshooting OCR issues.

Example

'Saves default OCR settings

lang = OCRGetLanguageFilePath()

contrast = OCRGetContrast()

imgScale = OCRGetScale()

grayConversion = OCRIsConvertingToGrayscale()

Try

'Changes OCR settings for the checkpoint

OCRSetLanguageFilePath("C:\\tessdata\\MICR.traineddata")

OCRSetContrast(50)

OCRSetScale(2)

OCRConvertToGrayscale(True)

'Verifies text in the page footer

Window("ACME Bank").OCRCheckpoint(92, "ACME Bancorp, Member FDIC", 13, 4, 86, 11, False, "Footer text is incorrect")

Finally

'Resets default OCR settings

OCRSetLanguageFilePath(lang)

OCRSetContrast(contrast)

OCRSetScale(imgScale)

OCRConvertToGrayscale(grayConversion)

End Try
