Recognizing characters ( OCR and more)

Hello to all.

First of all thanks a lot for reading this post and being able to help.

 

I am developing an application which has to recognize characters (numbers and letters).

The first think I do was to develop an OCR application (just find examples in Labview).

 

My questions are the next:

1) Is there another way or tool for recognizing characters?

2) To train OCR, can I train OCR with "OCR training interface", save a file with characters trained and then that user can modify that file in my developed application?

 

Thanks a lot to all.

In addition to the Examples that come with LabVIEW, there are other examples/tutorials (which, possibly, are all "variations" on the same theme) on the Web -- just search for LabVIEW OCR.

 

If you have a specific question or need help with a particular piece of code, post it (please, as a VI, not as a picture) and ask your question.

-Yes Optical Character Recognition is meant to read characters and numbers based on the character set file which you train.

-You have to use OCR Training Interface to train the characters as reference which are used to read and identify during inspection.

-Couple other links to help you to understand more: Optical Character Recognition(OCR) https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370281AC-01/TOC27.htm
