Can we extract text from an Image without Opening it

Eggplant Functional
1

I am currently doing Point of Sale automation and i need to validate receipt which we are planning to capture using external camera. I looking few ways to automate these receipts.

  • Eggplant is directly connected to POS linux terminal, hence i cannot open the image.
    Please help with potential solutions.

Eggplant can be connected to multiple SUTs, either sequentially or concurrently. So if SUT1 represents the Linux POS terminal, SUT2 could represent the laptop or mobile device that is taking the picture.
A simplified workflow would look like this:

  1. Connect SUT1.
  2. Click the buttons necessary to create a sale.
  3. Click the buttons necessary to print a receipt.
  4. Connect SUT2.
  5. Use OCR on SUT2 to read the receipt from the camera image.
  6. Validate data from SUT2 against actions performed on SUT1.

Thankyou Dave, but we had purchased a camera module through which we are trying to send the captured images back to VM where eggplant is installed. But i guess this doesn’t work.
I was planning to skip another VM or any device which is additional SUT.

This resolved my issue - connect same machine as SUT ( single system connection) and opening image to read text
