Random failures with OCR

[mjnaleva]

Hello,

I'm curious if anyone has had intermittent failures when calling the OCRTesseractDoOCR method on the GdPictureImaging class. It appears that the status value returned by this method will occasionally read 'Generic Error' for me. I am using version 1.0.0.3 of the OCR plugin from Feb. 2009. I was not sure if there is a known problem that may have been fixed in a later release? This error message doesn't lend itself to figuring out what I may be doing wrong on my end. I have been doing OCR captures on many different files (mostly PDF and TIF) and this error only sometimes comes up. I noticed if I readjust the zoom of the document and try to recapture the same part of the document again then the OCR returns a status value of OK.

Perplexed,
Mark

Hi Mark,

The first things to do is to use the latest edition. Similar bug have already been fixed.

Kind regards,
