Hello All . I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with an abstraction or some built in process being able to handle character recognition on any platform. I mostly interested in running a test on Linux Ubuntu. What I would like to do is have PD react to marks or characters being picked up by a webcam. I suppose the web-cam would have to capture an image (pixvideo, piximage) and pass that to an ocr engine and then read a text string from the application to be processed by PD in one way or another.
Any help of pointers would be greatly appreciated.
