OCR

[dbini]

Hello folks, has anybody managed to build any OCR-type patches? I'm thinking of creating a patch that will be able to read numbers from an LCD display via a webcam->video in. I was thinking it would be built around Eyes, but i'm not sure where to start. (i've seen it done in Processing) any ideas?

cheers,

john

Do it in processing, Isadora has no capability to do this and Eyes will definitely not work.

OpenCV also has a python binding, so the camera is rather easy.
