Hi everyone,

I'ld to know if it's possible to do OCR directly with screen datas as input using OpenCV ? (i.e without saving screenshots then doing OCR on it).

Thank you

Aymeric

OCR is using photos, so I think that you need a photo of the screen to do it... If the screen is displaying some stream, then you can get the frames form that stream and apply OCR on them...

You will not have to save the image data to a photo, but you will not be able to avoid grabbing the current image state as a whole before operating OCR on top of it. You will basically need a way of screen capturing in C++ and then pipe the data into a Mat object to be processed by OpenCV.
