About:
ssocr is a command-line utility that converts images of seven-segment displays (like digital clocks or calculators) into text using OCR. It processes image files to recognize and extract numerical digits, providing a reliable way to digitize readings from physical displays. The tool is highly configurable to adapt to different display styles and lighting conditions.
Key Features:
  • Image preprocessing for contrast and noise reduction
  • Configurable segment definitions for various display types
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Supports multiple image formats via ImageMagick
Use Cases:
  • Automating data entry from digital meters and gauges
  • Extracting numerical data from photographs of displays
  • Digitizing readings from legacy hardware for logging
Alternatives:
  • Tesseract – General-purpose OCR, not optimized for seven-segment displays
  • OpenCV custom scripts – More flexible but requires significant development effort
