Reading text and charachters from image

Question

Hi,
Is there anyone that could share code to extract/collect text from images? I've tried nConvert and gocr but its not working very well (also its external programs). I would be extremley grateful if someone could share som code to parse the texts and numbers from an image.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

To answer your question - I'm teaching myself java and I haven't covered enumeration classes yet.
With the setGender("Q") scenario, the data in the text file has already been validated by other methods before being written to the file. Anyway I worked out my problems were caused by "input = read.readLine()" being in the wrong places. The code below works fine though I've left out the set and get methods for the time being.

public static void readFile()throws IOException{
String name = "";
String gender = "";
int age = 0;
BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myfile.txt"));
String input = read.readLine();
while(input != null){
name = input;
input = read.readLine();
gender = input;
input = read.readLine();
age = Integer.parseInt(input);
input = read.readLine();
System.out.println("Name: " + name + " Gender: " + gender + " Age: " + age);
read.close();
