Question #229069 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/229069

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
The optimization of the text search and OCR feature in Sikuli X is
planned for the version 1.1 (second half of 2013).

Already the version SikuliX-1.0 (final next week) might be a little bit
better in the one or other case (since it uses Tesseract 3).

The above mentioned "OCR-engine" is based on a threaded findAll() of prepared glyph images and might be suitable for special cases, where the effort to gather all images of one font is acceptable (you need one set of images for every size).
A good example: reading a number (with fixed font and font size) from a field, which in many cases does not work with the current version of Sikuli (X-1.0rc3).
