Attached is the complete source code for a previous RAC project which is an OCR application that sits in the Windows tray bar. It is possible, holding down the appropriate hot key (ALT for example), to capture and forward any word on screen to a URL by clicking on it. This is what needs to be done: ---------------------------------- The Tesseract OCR engine used in the TydaRead application, is not able to recognize Swedish characters åäö (lower) and Å?"?- (upper). There is training documentation supplied by third party Tesseract (see their website) which outlines how to train the OCR engine for these 6 new characters. Your mission is to get TydaRead, the name of the attached app, to be able to successfully capture and URL forward Swedish words (having åäö/Å?"?- in them). Currently the attached app truncates the word when it encounters such a Swedish character. In the zip archive you'll find a 'bin' folder with the file TydaRead.exe. Run the file and then click on any word while holding down the ALT key. Your favorite browser should start opening the site which then translates the word to Swedish/English. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows? (depending on the nature? of the deliverables): a)?
