Hello list, I'm thinking about a python script which fetch some text from the screen independent of what application provides the text on the screen. In this regard it should be similar to the babylon software: www.babylon.com
Here my thoughts: 1) getting the mouse position 2) calculate a adequate rectangle around the mouse position 3) fetch the screen content in this rectangle 4) use a OCR library to get the text out of 3) 5) do something usefull with it. Has someone experiences with this task ? Is this a good roadmap or could someone think of a better way? Which OCR library shoud I use ? Found tesseract-ocr (linux, windows) and simpleOCR (bad, only windows (activeX). Thanks in advance for your replays. Jürgen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
