Coding Snacks / I need a script to alert by SMS/Email after analyzing screen capture

« on: January 23, 2015, 03:07 PM »

So, I had this idea to utilize Screenshot Captor to alert me when the captured screen falls below a certain threshold (number). I need the script to continuously take screenshots of a fixed region on my screen (every 10 minutes for example), print the captured image to PDF, open the created PDF in Adobe Acrobat, run the native text recognition function, copy the recognized text (in this case a number), possibly paste that value into a notepad document and run some if/then statements to determine whether I need to be alerted or not.

Is this possible? I know some coding but I don't have a lot of experience.
