Added to README.md:
- New 'OCR Requirements (Optional)' section after Installation
- Instructions for installing EasyOCR (recommended), Tesseract, or PaddleOCR
- Note that Game Reader works without OCR, just shows 'not available'
Improved Game Reader Test plugin:
- Better error message when Tesseract binary is not installed
- Provides download link and installation steps in error message
- Updated Calibration tab to check if Tesseract binary is available
- Shows recommendation to use EasyOCR in backend status
This helps users understand why they get 'tesseract is not installed'
errors and how to fix them.
Added new 'File Test' tab that allows testing OCR on saved screenshot files.
This is useful when:
- The game is not currently running
- You want to test OCR on a specific saved screenshot
- You want to compare OCR results on the same image
Features:
- Browse button to select image files (PNG, JPG, BMP, TIFF)
- Backend selection (Auto/EasyOCR/Tesseract)
- Displays filename and processing stats
- Shows which backend was used and processing time
The original 'Quick Test' still captures the current screen.
The new 'File Test' lets you test on saved images.
