ManualDecoder

void ManualDecoder (ScrapingSession session)

Description

Type of ImageDecoder in the com.screenscraper.util.images package that uses a popup window prompting the user to enter the text read from an image. Useful for debugging purposes, as the input text should always be correct (so long as it is typed correctly). Helpful during testing to avoid costs associated with paid-for CAPTCHA decoding services such as decaptcher.com.

Parameters

session Name of currently running scraping session.

Return Values

Returns void. If it runs into any problems decoding an image an error will be thrown.
