Hi all, I'm new to autoit but hope I'll be able to master it and utilize it for my plans of world domination

Anyway, I was wondering if exists a simple way to read onscreen text which isn't accesable as a control thingi, like some scanners can.

Also, is there a way to read text marked by the mouse?

To read text like scanners can, Search for OCR both on these forums and in google.

To get the text marked by the mouse, do CTRL+C. It will send the highlighted text to the clipboard (copy). Then do a ClipGet() to retrieve the text.
