Detailed Description

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) API.

This static class offers the OCR APIs. The user shall call CreateOCREngineL and get the instance of one type of the OCR engine and then convert the instance from MOCREngineInterface to MOCREngineLayoutRecognize or MOCREngineRecognizeBlock according to the type information. And use ReleaseOCREngine to destroy the engine.

See also:
OCREngineFactory::TEngineType
Note: This procedure will create a new thread in your current process in order to run the OCR APIs, so you don't need to create new threads for OCR by yourself

For example: A typical usage for the factory class would be like: 

  const TOcrEngineEnv env;
  env.iPriority = EPriorityLess;
  env.iMaxHeapSize = 1200*KMinHeapGrowBy;
  MOCREngineInterface* myEngine = CreateOCREngineL( aObserver, env, EEngineLayoutRecognize);
  MOCREngineLayoutRecognize* layoutEngine = STATIC_CAST( MOCREngineLayoutRecognize*, myEngine );
  // TODO: call coresponding methods in layoutEngine
  ReleaseOCREngine( layoutEngine );

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum OCREngineFactory::TEngineType
 

OCR Engine Types.

Enumerator:
EEngineLayoutRecognize  OCR Engine with layout analysis feature: by selecting this type of engine, LayoutAnalysisL shall be called first before RecognizeL.
EEngineRecognizeBlock  Engine without layout analysis feature: Layout information shall be passed through TOCRLayoutBlockInfo or TRegionInfo to the interfaces.
