Good idea, but train your OCR properly. There's no reason for recognition mistakes if your text is taken from a screenshot (not deformed, not randomised font).

Thanks, I totally agree. The tessnet2 engine I am using didn't seem to have very in depth training. If it was a more serious project I would have looked to use tesseract 3 which seems to have more flexibility for training.

If you do, take a look at TesseractTrainer, which basically automates the entire training process: https://github.com/BaltoRouberol/TesseractTrainer

Awesome stuff. Brings me back to the days of PindleBots. I agree about the late game content being pretty boring.
