How to handle OCR Scan Error in VB6

Question

Im trying to get all the info i can get from a pictured doc. Which includes hand-writings in some part. While scanning this im having my screen freeze like hell and than gives an error that says VB6 stopped working... I cant really findout what causes this so i just wanna get over it if there is an error or OCR faliure. Sadly couldnt succeded yet. Here what i done so far:

Dim Mdoc As MODI.Document
Dim Mlay As MODI.Layout
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim logfile As Object

Public Function ScanMan(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Path As String) As String
    Set Mdoc = New MODI.Document
    'Set Mdoc = CreateObject("MODI.Document")
    Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject

    DoEvents
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    ''''''''''''''''''' Create OCRLog File '''''''''''''''''''
    OCRPath = App.Path & "\OCR Results Log\"
    OCRName = Str(DateTime.Date) & " OCRresults"
    If fso.FolderExists(OCRPath) = False Then
        fso.CreateFolder (OCRPath)
    End If
    If fso.FileExists(OCRPath & OCRName & ".txt") = False Then
        fso.CreateTextFile OCRPath & OCRName & ".txt"
    End If
    Set logfile = fso.OpenTextFile(OCRPath & OCRName & ".txt", ForAppending)
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

    On Error GoTo OCRErr
    DoEvents
    Mdoc.Create Path & Name
    Mimg = Mdoc.Images(0).OCR(miLANG_ENGLISH, True, True)
    Set Mlay = Mdoc.Images(0).Layout
    logfile.WriteLine Mlay.Text

    ScanMan = Mlay.Text

    Mdoc.Close False

    Set Mlay = Nothing
    Set Mdoc = Nothing

OCRErr:
    logfile.WriteLine "OCR given (" & Err.Number & ") numbered (" & Err.Description & ") error."
    logfile.Close
End Function

So how can i handle this freeze problem?

Answer 1

Try this:

Mdoc.Images(0).OCR
logfile.Write Mdoc.Images(0).Layout.Text
