FuzzyOCR Plugin question

[Evan Platt <ev...@espphotography.com>]

I hope someone here can help, I've looked at the FuzzyOCR wiki and 
can't seem to find an answer..

Is there a way to feed a GIF to FuzzyOCR and 'see' the output ?

ie let's say I have a GIF which has "THIS STOCK WILL EXPLODE 
TOMORROW!" but there's some background noise to attempt to obfuscate it.

Is there a command line to feed FuzzyOCR a gif / jpg and output to a 
text file or screen?

I guess I could e-mail myself the GIF, but looking for a simpler way.

Thanks.

Evan

Not quite - but you can go through some of the process manually - have a
read here (especially step 10):

No.  FuzzyOcr is a plugin not a standalone application, if you want to test a
gif or other image you have to run the scanset yourself and see the output which
is not the same thing, since the real operation takes that output into to the
fuzzy string recognition (the only "fuzzy" part about FuzzyOcr).
