Reading/Interpreting Text

[TestMachine 0]

What's the best method to have a script interpreting words/numbers where the text is not selectable or visible/hidden text according to Window Info?

More info please.

What application? Can you post a screenshot? What have you coded so far?

I haven't started coding my app yet, I wanted to do the research first. Right now I try to interpret Arial text size 10 from a clear PNG image. Is this possible or do I need to go through a second program?

If it's text in a PNG image then it's just a bunch of pixels. You need OCR, Pixelsearch or something like that.

Thanks, OCR is probably what I need
