Title:
  [1.0] Region.text() does not work -- switched off in the standard

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Committed

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: 
  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

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  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.

  [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.

  1. Siluli Version
    Using 1.0.0 from the web site as of 6/7/2013
  2. OS Version
    64 bit Windows Server 2003 accessed with Remote Desktop.
  3. Procedure to reproduce
    Use region.text() - it simply doesn't work.
  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.

  Thanks,
  Erik
