Ahk V2 compatibility?

[Niehztog]

Hello @iseahound
i tried using the latest Vis2 version in AHK v2 and it fails. I get the following error:

Error: Expected ":="

Text:	="", y="", w="", h="", Alpha=255)
Line:	69
File:	C:\Users\User\projects\Vis2-master\lib\Gdip_All.ahk

The program will exit.

Is V2 supported or is support planned?

no, I've had good success with OCR.ahk and ImagePut. The reasoning is that ocr tools are so advanced now so using ImagePut, which allows the user to convert any image, is enough to integrate with any API, library, etc.

The following code should get you started with ocr for ahk v2, and is the code I currently use.

; Press Win + Shift + s to take a screenshot, then press Ctrl + Win + v to paste the image as text.
#include OCR.ahk
#Include ImagePut.ahk
#^v::    SendText RegExReplace(A_Clipboard, "^\s*|\s*$") || OCR(ImagePutSoftwareBitmap(ClipboardAll)).Text

TextRender, the library used to generate subtitles on screen has been ported to v2. I'll leave it to someone else to combine these libraries together.
