There has been many questions about using tesseract of late. Here is a very basic example which works for me, along with the exact version of standalone tesseract executable and English language data used I found it some time ago at a time I thought I needed it, I do not recall from where. $ImageToReadPath = @ScriptDir & "\image.bmp" $ResultTextPath = @ScriptDir & "\Result" $OutPutPath = $ResultTextPath & ".txt" $TesseractExePath = @ScriptDir & "\Tesseract.exe" ShellExecuteWait($TesseractExePath, '"' & $ImageToReadPath & '" "' & $ResultTextPath & '"', "", "", @SW_HIDE) If @error Then Exit MsgBox(0, "Error", @error) EndIf MsgBox(0, "Result", FileRead($OutPutPath)) FileDelete($OutPutPath)Some Answers: The files contained in the download, only support English language. From the only documentation I got with this version... Original Binaries and Source can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/I do not know where to get other languages support. I do not know if there is a later standalone version. I do not know why it does not read your image accurately. It does not have a virus in it. You can search the forums or internet to learn how to create / cut / copy / paste, or otherwise manipulate your own images. TesseractExample.zip
