I presume you are using you OCR "fingerprint" technique - but have discovered something that gets around whatever problems existed before - I'm sure I read you post somewhere the original plan was for full character map but problems restricted it to digits.. or did I misread somewhere?

The problem arises when you don't know the size of the font or the size can vary etc.. It is hard to differentiate between 0 and O for instance or v and V. But when you know the size, you can use the width of the character or the height of the character to differentiate between them.. So the OCR is very specific to font/size.

What hardware are you achieving this performance on?

AMD Athlon 64 (single processor), 1GB RAM

And what plans do you imagine would make use of this list of players/tables? or is it just players at this time?

[/ QUOTE ]
It can read both the table lists and player list as they are both the same font. So anything can be read from that. At first it will just gather a list of all players for certain blind levels and what tables they are sitting at. Other features could be added in the future I suppose.

It could for instance tell you how many players from a predefined list are sitting at each table.
