Extracting text from .png images

[Indigo Moon Man]

Henrik Berg Nielsen <hbn at imada.sdu.dk> spake thusly:
>
> I need to extract some text (well numbers actually) from a bunch of
> similarly looking .png images. After extraction the numbers will be fed
> to a Python script for further processing. Any good ideas on how to go
> about with this? I have no idea whatsoever about how to extract the
> numbers out of the images...
>
This might help you out...

I'm not sure if it does PNG, you might have to convert the file to tiff or
bmp or something.
