When i try to search a text on the screen using automagica.activities.find_text_on_screen_ocr(testfile), i had encountered, FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\userid\automagica.json'. Later i have created a empty JSON file in the path. Then the following error is being observed
**Traceback (most recent call last):

Fix automagica#116: Add error handling, when no API Key is found
2fb3ebb 
This affects activitites related to OCR and Vision
which have Automagica APIs that can only be accessed
by users who have signed up online and have API keys

You need an API key to do those actions.

I've made a pull request with better error handling to make this more clear ( #119 )

@kathawala How to obtain API Key?

@kathawala

You need to sign up on the automagica website, I'm working on a fork to allow ocr activities without API key, but no guarantees on that

Have you finished your work?

@valerietram88 Yes, I got some time this evening to revisit it. You can find my branch here: https://github.com/kathawala/automagica/tree/local_ocr

You'll need to install tesseract on your machine to make it work. It's a simple installation. Can work on automating this installation later.

Again, no guarantees, but my next steps would be to test it out on Windows + Mac OS (currently it works on Linux), and then once it works satisfactorily, make a PR here.

This is currently not on our roadmap for Automagica, however we are looking at the possibility of BYOOCR (Bring Your Own OCR).
