[Question #246036]: Extracting Text from an Image (OCR)

 

New question #246036 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/246036

Background:
From: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/171350 
look docs: http://sikuli.org/docx/region.html#extracting-text-from-a-region    (and bug 710586)
....

I tried finding the linked document - but it looks like the link has broken.

Are there any walkthrough's for how to use a text-grabbing-from-region?
For example, if on google's front page, if I wanted to obtain the words "I'm Feeling Lucky" and then paste them into an excel - how would I do that?
I can use the find function to obtain a region (for example get a screengrab of the I'mFeelingLucky button), but I'm not sure how to obtain the text out of the image.

Final note - I know that there are some OCR issues, etc. But I don't know how to do the simple task of pulling out the text out of the region - I've read through all the documentation on the "everything about Sikuli script" page in regard to regions & text but I couldn't seem to figure it out on my own (with no background in programming).

Also, I have a question in regard to pulling in public scripts, etc. but I will log another question.
