Thanks for your great ideas Hermann. In my next experiment I think I'll start by looking for any scrabble tile by looking for its [known] background color, and then work out to its edges. That should give me both the grid cell size and a starting point for discovering all cells in the grid.

Unless anyone knows of something simpler?

Thanks -
Phil

You need some criteria to find the topleft of the grid and the
size of one letter: color/transparency/a marker(fixed image part)...
You could also use pattern recognition for that.

Then it's the easy part to get all possible letters by computing the
grid and crop (get from imageData) the grid elements by script.
Then doing the OCR for each single char.

If you need that for a standalone, then 'tesseract' with its huge
language packs is probably not appropriate and 'ocrad' could be
good enough for that.
