optical character recognition

I am creating an interface for a pulse duplicator. Part of this involves measuring the viscosity and inputing the value as a user input. Our requirement is to automatically incorporate viscosity. One possibility is to use a viscometer with an output however, we do not have one so our other option is to use a webcam to take photos of the screen and use optical character recognition to detect the value. I was wondering if there is a way to do this on Labview and if I could get possible assistance on that. The viscometer can display a maximum of 4 numbers. Thank you

I have never done it in LabVIEW, but I know there are some dll packages out there for OCR in C++.  You could easily use them in LabVIEW.

NI-Vision includes OCR functions.

Hi F.N,

 

You can easily do OCR in LabVIEW.

 

If you have Vision Development Module (VDM) installed in LabVIEW you should see the following OCR examples:

You can also do OCR from within Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (VBAI), or from within the Vision Assistant in LabVIEW.

 

I am sure you can find more information and OCR examples if you search ni.com.
