Hi Richard;

  I did a project like this at Passport Canada for PCI compliance. I built both Native PB and PowerServer Web apps that used the Tesseract open source OCR engine for that.  FYI: https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Downloads.html

Presentation:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/stdfndclass/files/Presentations/OCR

Note: I have an example App with basic code working if you are interested in having a look.

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Hi Richard;

FYI: I found the OCR demo App. It was last migrated into PB 2017R3.

What PB version & build are you using currently?

Hello,



I'm also interested in as I'm currently looking for an implementation of Tesseract in PowerBuilder. The aim is to automate some heavy and repetitive tasks by using some OCR.

Hi Jean-Marc;

If you are interested ... I also created a simple App that uses Tesseract to provide a simple example of doing this ...
