============

[](#gocr-for-php)

A wrapper to work with Gocr inside PHP scripts.

Why?
----

[](#why)

This project makes easier the use of the OCR software named GOCR.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

- [gocr](http://jocr.sourceforge.net/)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require zcastle/gocr-php
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

#### Instantiate the Gocr object with the image path:

[](#instantiate-the-gocr-object-with-the-image-path)

```
$gocr = new Gocr('testData/images/welcome.png');
```

#### Recognize and get text content:

[](#recognize-and-get-text-content)

```
$textContent = $gocr->recognize();
```

#### Set spacewidth between words in units of dots (default: 0 for autodetect):

[](#set-spacewidth-between-words-in-units-of-dots-default-0-for-autodetect)

Wider widths are interpreted as word spaces, smaller as character spaces.

```
$gocr->setSpaceWidthParam(20);
```

#### Set Operational mode; mode is a bitfield (default: 0):

[](#set-operational-mode-mode-is-a-bitfield-default-0)

```
$gocr->setModeParam(258);
```

#### Set value for certainty of recognition (0..100; default: 95):

[](#set-value-for-certainty-of-recognition-0100-default-95)

Characters with a higher certainty are accepted, characters with a lower certainty are treated as unknown (not recognized); set higher values, if you want to have only more certain recognized characters.

```
$gocr->setValueForCertaintyOfRecognitionParam(100);
```

#### Set database path, a final slash must be included, default is ./db/:

[](#set-database-path-a-final-slash-must-be-included-default-is-db)

This path will be populated with images of learned characters.

```
$gocr->setDatabasePathParam('testData/db/');
```
