Kapow provides optical character recognition (OCR) functionality to extract text from images and to automate applications with limited or no automation API.

OCR is a complicated process and recognition results depend on many factors, such as screen fonts, background and foreground color, text size, and so on. Kapow installation contains an ocr.cfg file that contains some configuration settings you can use to alter recognition results. The file contains detailed description of configuration settings. The ocr.cfg file is located in the Kapow installation directory as follows.

• On the Windows-based automated computer with installed Device Automation Service:

  DeviceAutomationService\lib in the Device Automation service installation directory. Example:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Kapow DeviceAutomation 10.3.0 x32\DeviceAutomationService\lib\tessdata

• On the local Windows-based computer to use with the built-in browser:

  nativelib\hub\windows-x32\<build number>\lib* in the Kofax Kapow installation directory. Example:

  C:\Program Files\Kapow 10.3.0.0 x64\nativelib\hub\windows-x32\166\lib

• On the local Linux-based computer to use with the built-in browser:

  nativelib/hub/linux-x64/<build number>/lib in the Kofax Kapow installation directory. Example:

  Kapow_10.3.0.0_x64/nativelib/hub/linux-x64/166/lib

* The build number is different in different versions of the program.
