Hi yawl,
I need some help with this problem and hope that someone out there has found a solution or knows of a site that has cracked this. The problem involves trying to automate a login script (in perl) for a secure website that requires the user to enter his/her ID and password, PLUS the text string that is shown in a graphical box. I'm certain that just about everone out there has seen the graphical box I am referring to. It is used by yahoo, amazon, and several other high end sites.
The graphical box consists of a background image and text, both of which change each time the page is refreshed. I am able to obtain the image file name (*.jpg) and therefore download the .jpg file to a pc for processing. What I now need is a program (OCR - optical character recognition) or routine that can automate and process the image file and report back the actual word hidden inside the image, so that I can then feed this to the form. I hope I have explained this clearly enough.
Any ideas? This is a really tough nut to crack!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
