Seven Segment Optical Character Recognition or ssocr for short is a
|
||||
program to recognize digits of a seven segment display. An image of one
|
||||
row of digits is used for input and the recognized number is written to
|
||||
the standard output. The program runs on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD (available as
|
||||
a port), Mac OS X (using Homebrew to install Imlib2), and even on Windows
|
||||
(using Cygwin). ssocr should work on any UNIX-like or POSIX compatible
|
||||
operating system.

build ssocr.
