OCR doesn't recognize text in graphic mode

[kenorb]

I've tested in Chrome, and it seems finding by text works in web browser (plain text on the website), although not in graphic mode of the app.

For example I've run BlueStacks Android emulator and tried to find some text on the screen, but it failed.

My code:

app = App("BlueStacks")
app.focus()
region = Region(App.focusedWindow())
region.find("Search")

The application get focused, but there is this error:

[log] App.focus: [28084:BlueStacks]
[error] script [ MyScript ] stopped with error in line 4
[error] FindFailed ( Search as text )

The same with region.click("Search").

I've also tested some some text in the games, but it failed as well.

Screenshot of the app:

How to fix, improve or debug this problem?

Tested on macOS Sierra in Sikulix IDE 1.1.1

Sorry, but the text feature is unchanged since 5 years and is very weak. No chance to do anything. ... take it or leave it ;-)

Is it going to be improved in SikuliX2, or it's basically the same thing? Alternatively can you replace/upgrade the used library or report this issue to OpenCV or whatever it's used for OCR? Where is the right place to address this issue directly?

Version 2 will be based on Tess4J which wraps Tesseract 3 as a Java API. All possibilities as with the Tesseract command usage will be available for OCR. But I will touch that area only later this year.

All this has nothing to do with OpenCV. And no one else, than the developer(s) of Sikuli(X) can be addressed about this "issue", since it is how the Tesseract feature usage is implemented deep down in the Sikuli C++ djungle (I will never touch that ;-).
