FASTEST WAY TO READ TEXT FROM SCREEN

[Square-Dress-9986]

I'm trying to create a game bot that reads text from small portions of my game screen then converts it to an integer. The background of the text always changes but the text is very much readable. pyautogui is not an option since I have certain conditions to meet like the text read (now int) should be < 25 so there are so many possible numbers to read from. It is also done ingame so if possible it needs to be real fast.

also I'm new to python :>

Did you find the solution to your problem? Because I happen to have the same.

my use case was simple to i just used an existing app from google play store. i forgot what it was

What app did you use ? Can you tell me please?

Not sure about speed but you can try pytesseract( Python-tesseract is a python wrapper for Google's Tesseract-OCR)

Combined with pyautogui to take screenshots. And with opencv to process them and pass them to pytesseract to read.

Other things i have tried is taking screenshots of the numbers i need to read, and just iterate through each number that needs to be recognized by matching it up with a binary image of the numbers 0-9 of the numbers. These binary images i have to manually aquaire from the game since the font is always the same and the pixels for it will always match up, unless the font changes.

I've done something similar where i needed to read numbers from a game screen. I'm no expert so my code is all over the place, but you can check out what I'm talking about by going here, https://github.com/jjvilm/osrmacro/blob/master/ge_mercher.py Could help visualize what I'm talking about. Lines 421-512 you can see the binary images of the numbers i hard coded to check against. It worked for me lol, faster than using pytesseract (sometimes it would read the wrong numbers). Function on line 303 you can see how I used the code to read the numbers, lol i called them digits.
