see the revised bug description.

** Description changed:

- I wrote a script that runs fine and uses text OCR on my local machine.
- When I deploy it to a remote server and run the same test in the IDE
- using Windows Remote Desktop, the text recognizer cannot be created and
- it gives me the following message.
+ *** problem -------------------
+ as described in title
+ 
+ *** solution ------------------
+ in the standard (first time use) both the Tesseract based features Region.text() (OCR) and find("some text") are switched of.
+ 
+ for IDE script running: 
+ https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX-IDE/wiki/Release-Notes-IDE#preferences
+ 
+ If you want to switch in the script directly:
+ Settings.OcrTextSearch=True/False to switch on/off finding text
+ Settings.OcrTextRead=True/False to switch on/off the Region.text() function
+

  [error] Region.text: text recognition is currently switched off
  
  I used an installer to install the version of Sikuli on my laptop,
  (release candidate), and the 1.0.0 version I am just unzipping it to a
  temp folder and running from there. I don't know if maybe OCR requires
  the old version, but I'm assuming this is because of Remote Desktop
  somehow.

  4. Locate the bug
-   It's where the region.text() method tries to create a text recognizer and gets back null. Something under the hood is failing to get the recognizer.

Status in Sikuli:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  *** problem -------------------
  as described in title

  *** solution ------------------
  in the standard (first time use) both the Tesseract based features Region.text() (OCR) and find("some text") are switched of.

  for IDE script running:

  If you want to switch in the script directly:
  Settings.OcrTextSearch=True/False to switch on/off finding text
