Reading image contents using selenium and java - selenium

Question

I want to read content of image using selenium and asprise jars and added below jar files in my project :
aocr.jar
AspriseOCR
and below is my code :
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("C:\\Users\\siddhesh.kalgaonkar\\Desktop\\love.jpg"));
String imageText = new OCR().recognizeCharacters((RenderedImage)image);
System.out.println("Text From Image : \n"+ imageText);
System.out.println("Length of total text : \n"+ imageText.length());
but its giving below error :
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no AspriseOCR in java.library.path
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(Unknown Source)
at com.asprise.util.ocr.OCR.loadLibrary(OCR.java:247)
at com.asprise.util.ocr.OCR.<init>(OCR.java:56)
at com.image.selenium.ImageVerification.start(ImageVerification.java:52)
I also tried setting java.library.path using this link but of no use. Please help anyone.

Answer 1

I got an answer to my own question. We can now do it with the help of below information:
Add latest aocr.jar to your project. Download it from
this link.
Include pom.xml file in your project for maven dependencies and add this dependency :
<dependency>
<groupId>com.asprise.ocr</groupId>
<artifactId>java-ocr-api</artifactId>
<version>[15,)</version>
</dependency>
Write below code in your java file :
public class ImageVerification
{
WebDriver driver;
#Test
public void start() throws IOException {
Ocr ocr = new Ocr(); // create a new OCR engine
ocr.startEngine("eng", Ocr.SPEED_FASTEST); // English
String s = ocr.recognize(new File[] { new File("C:\\Users\\siddhesh.kalgaonkar\\Desktop\\love.jpg") },
Ocr.RECOGNIZE_TYPE_TEXT, Ocr.OUTPUT_FORMAT_PLAINTEXT);
System.out.println(s);
ocr.stopEngine();
}

Enjoy :)
NOTE: It works only for images with plain text.It doesn't work for images with data in graph format or pie chart or trend chart
