Getting pixel coordinates as output

[MrSpaghettiCode]

Hello,

i am using your wrapper to ocr some documents and i was wondering if it is possible to get pixel coordinates of found words.
I am trying to read certain data by drawing rectangles around it and feeding them to tess afterwards, but unfortunately the datacoordinates vary from document to document.

so, what i want to do:

1. let tesseract search for buzzword.
2. get coordinates of found word.
3. draw a rectangle around a certain area
4. feed the rectangle to tesseract

Normaly i would just scan the whole thing and extract the data, but since my scans are super unrelyable and there is much unneeded data, i have to do this rectangle stuff.

thx in advance

The bounds are available on the iterators. See console demo here: https://github.com/charlesw/tesseract-samples So in your case: * OCR page * Iterator through results identifying words of interest * Get regions from iterator (TryGetBoundingBox) Hope that helps 🙂
