| What is OCR or Passphrase Image Recognition |
Some sites that you submit to require you to type in Passcodes or Passphrases that are displayed in images. Using OCR technology we have created a way to automaticly read these images and type in the passphrase for you. Listed below are the passphrases we can currently handle:

| How do I set a site up in the database to use OCR? |
First, you must goto the "Database" Tab in the main DS window and use your RIGHT mouse button to click on the site you wish to add ocr to, then a menu will appear, click "goto url"
Figure 1.1
This will take you to the sites submission form in submission zone 1, from here, find the ocr image you wish to have ocr read, and right click the image, and select properties. Once the properties window comes up, highlight the "Address [URL]" (you may need to scroll down to get it all) and copy the entire url by hitting ctrl-c.
Figure 1.2
Once you have copied the url, you must close the properties window, and click the little D at the top of submission zone 1, to edit the form index for the site. Once in the form index, select the corresponding OCR type from the image drop down, and then click "OCR/IE settings":
Figure 1.3
For type 1 OCR images, use the following setup intructions: Paste the URL in the "url of image" field, then take note of the characters AFTER the ? in the url, and then delete them from this field. Once you have deleted all characters after the ? in the url, click OK. (NOTE: if the url does not have a ? and a large string of characters and ends in image.cgi, then leave the url as it stands and continue) After clicking ok, the "Inferno ocr / ie settings" window will close, from here click the properties button, this will make the "Pop out and view full screen" button appear, click it.
Figure 1.4
A window will appear listing all the form fields and names, locate the one with the value you deleted previously, (if there were no characters to delete then just copy the passphrase text field name) then highlight and copy the corresponding field name, (when doing this also take note of the corresponding text field name for the passphrase) and close the window:
Figure 1.5
Click the OCR / IE Settings button again, (skip this step if you did not delete any characters from the original url) Checkmark the "append w/field name value" then paste the field name you previously copied into the corresponding text box.
Then if you remember the field name of the passphrase text form field, you can enter it in in the "passphrase form field name to fill" text box:
Figure 1.6
Once this is done, you can click ok, and OK on the form index window, and you are all set! ** Note: also see IE Settings - Global and Site Specific |
When dealing with a Comus Thumbs Passcode, follow all directions from figure 1.1-1.4 then continue here:
Instead of deleting all characters AFTER the ? in the URL, delete all characters after the ? AS WELL as the ?. Then you must view the source code of the form, by exiting out of both the ie settings window and the form index window by clicking ok on both, and then hit the small V at the top of submission zone 1. You must then locate the passphrase field in the html code. See below:
Figure 2.1
Once you have highlighted and copied the string above, go back to the ocr/ie settings checkmark "locate" and paste it in the text field for locate, then remember how there were a bunch of characters after that "seed=" this is where you refer to them, where it says "+ append __ ascii characters" type in 10, then checkmark the below checkbox which reads "and continue after until the __" and enter ** to refer to the " at the end of the string. See below:
Figure 2.1
Once this is done, enter in the "passphrase form field name to fill" (see figure 1.6) |
