I run a small guild in an on-line MMO (City of Heroes). As part of this I maintain a roster of our membership and their level and various in-game statistics. Unfortunately I can't get the data from the MMO directly. I have been taking screenshots of the in-game roster and then transcribing it into comma-delimited format for parsing by a python script.
This works fine but some of our partner guilds are interested in my roster. So I was thinking I could try some limited OCR. In this case the font and image size will be known constants. I would then try to parse the screenshots directly. Does anyone know of any libraries or toolkits I can use with this? Or should I just dig up some OCR texts and make a cheater version, quick, dirty and a wee bit fragile. I will be using PIL to read the images and convert to bmps/memory images. I just am curious where I can did up some OCR related data. -Duncan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
