So I was planning on using simba to code a program for another game other then runescape and I have most of it done however I need to grab text from a screen to finish the last part.

So I took a look at the simba OCR documentation. I saw the GetTextAtEx function and it looks like what I need however I was wondering how exact it is. Can it read non-standard text? I would mainly be reading numbers and it would be things like






If it can read things like that could I get a short example of the function?

(also whatever happened to the wiki lol all I could find was the documentation)

You will need to make your own font for Simba to recognize that.

hmmm ok that shouldnt be too hard

(heh or I can just be lazy and make the user input it :P)

also if I had the font (one of them for example is MuseoSans) I should be able to get it to check through the font types till finds one it can recognize right, since it seems to use multiple font types

I'm not sure the OCR works very well for distorted text. It's not written to solve captchas, but you could give it a try. Otherwise try http://docs.villavu.com/simba/scriptref/bitmaps.html#finddeformedbitmaptolerancein (run each characters on the bitmap, see what one results with the highest accuracy.) Either way, I don't think there is a de-facto way to do this.

hmmm might be fun trying to do it then since I have a large amount of time on my hands :P. Its not a captcha persay the devs decided they would use 3 or 4 different font sets to make it look different lol.
