Question #219231 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/219231

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
- PIL does not work, because Sikuli uses Jython (only modules coded in Python-only should work, if they are written for max level 2.5) and you cannot use any modules containing C-based parts (as PIL does).
Based on passing image files, you might call Python via subprocess and run some PIL code within Python scripts (e.g. to manipulate images to optimize for text recognition).
Alternatively you can use ImageMagick the same way or use the Java API for ImageMagick.

Genereally there is no other useable FREE OCR engine than Tesseract.
