I also have 0 OCR experience, but the case is simple enough. I know about scipy but I have 0 experience with it. I was actually hoping somebody who knows about it might have some recipe.
I also tried psyco, but unfortunetly, the speedup is only few percent. I will check out ADaM's site. I was hoping to replace matrix comparison with something more efficient (minimal code change). I like the idea of dictionary lookup but it requires more code to be changed. If nothing else comes up I will probably try this method. Of course I will have to check the wider characters first so there will be presumably several lookups for each position. The only problem here is how to efficiently transform portions of input picture into suitable format (some kind of list/buffer). Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
