An object of this type is used to define where OCR text extraction should be done.

Note

This feature is experimental. Please note that the functionality and/or API may change.

You can extract text from an image using OCR by passing one or more OCRRegion objects to the method Eyes.extract_text. Each such object provides an image.

In addition you can, use the hint method to specify literal text or a regular expression-like pattern that should match the text found. The pattern passed as a hint helps overcome ambiguities that arise when using OCR. It can be used, for example, to distinguish between the digit 0 (zero) and the letter O.
