Read text out of a game window?

Is it possible to read text out of a game window?

For example [Character name] has earned the achievement [Achievement name]

Thanks

Sure, never have problem reading the names..... but assume you are talking about an AutoIt3 script reading graphics known as OCR?

Well, theres two ways. Either you need a programm/function that could recognize symbols and convert it to text or you could use assembler to get the text straight out of the game. If its a online game then possible packet sniffing+filtering. But that doesnt involve autoit does it ?

Ahhh sorry about that. I want a autoit script to read some text out an in-game chat window. Not sure how else to explain it. Sorry

EDIT: Does this help?

Unlikely!

Most "bots" as which your trying to make inject code directly WoW or embed a dll and do memory reading from there. It's a very complicated subject and not to many people would be willing to help you.

Actually its easy. You need basic knowledge of assembler and any debugger (theres lots of free ones in the interweb). Reversing knowledge is also helpfull but not necessary.
