Next up in this series, we'll leverage another open source technology within Windows PowerShell to automatically group images by document similarity. That's a command I can run on a database of a million scanned images and be done in a reasonable amount of time. Profiling this run of the command shows us that it took just 200 ms. \Quick-Brown-Fox.png | Export-ImageText -Rect $rect Now we'll pass $rect to our Export-ImageText cmdlet:ĭir. Paint tells us the coordinates: x,y = 172,152 h,w = 36,33. Here I've opened the Quick-Brown-Fox.png file in Paint, and I added a rectangle around the word "fox": Let's see how limiting the scope this way affects performance.įirst, we'll isolate an interesting rectangle. Luckily, we can isolate what gets read by passing in a rectangle. In fact, it clocks in at 1.3 seconds on my machine. Right away I notice that running this command seemed too slow to me. Let's start by extracting all of the text from this file:
I have a folder with sample scanned documents, including an image with the repeating text of the Quick Brown Fox. GitHubUserName Positronic-IO -ModuleName PSImaging -Branch 'master' -Scope CurrentUser To get the PSImaging module without the source, you can run this one-liner: Rather than leaving this as an exercise for the reader, I've done the work and open-sourced the project here: Positronic-IO/PSImaging. By doing this, we can bundle the dependencies into the module folder so that distribution is a piece of cake. Instead I chose to wrap up the SDK in a Windows PowerShell binary module. After installing the Tesseract runtimes, one option is to automate the executable. Let's start with the most accurate open-source OCR engine available: Tesseract-ocr by Google. This begs the question, "How can we take advantage of modern OCR on our own systems?" Now it's a commoditized add-on feature for cloud services. High-quality OCR was once the sole purview of tremendously expensive enterprise software.

Several popular cloud drive offerings have recently begun offering Optical Character Recognition (OCR) as a free add-on to their service. In this post, we're going to write a Windows PowerShell command with a cmdlet called Export-ImageText that can easily export text from our scanned document images. In first blog post of this series, we wrote the Windows PowerShell function Test-Image to definitively detect whether a file is a known image type by analyzing the first 8 bits of its header. Read Part 1 before diving into today’s post: PSImaging Part 1: Test-Image. Welcome back guest blogger Ben Vierck, for Part 2 of PSImaging. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. Summary : Guest blogger, Ben Vierck, talks about using Windows PowerShell to export text from an image.
