Convert Image to Text Code Using Selenium Java


Convert Image to Text Code Using Selenium Java

There are a lot of cases where we need to read the images to get a text from it and used that for our test case execution or to just validate the text of the images.

In this article, we would be learning how we can read the data from the images.

To Read the data from images we need to use Java-OCR (Optical character recognition technology) library.

A Java OCR SDK Library API allows us to perform OCR and bar code recognition on images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, etc.) and output as plain text, XML with full coordinate, searchable PDF or editable RTF.


To Start working with JAVA-OCR we need to follow the below steps:

1)    Download JAVA-Aspire OCR library from this link, depending upon your operating system.



2)    Unzip the downloaded folder and add the JAR file to your project directory. You can also download the maven dependency from this link.

3)    Most important from the downloaded zip folder copy the file named “aocr.jar” from the folder and place it inside C:\Windows\System32 also make sure to double click on this jar after we place on the path.

Below is the image I am trying to read


Below is the code snapshot I have mentioned comment as well.


The output of the above code execution is:
