Find and Click on Screen Text with MODI

Filed under: Automation,Scripting — Marcus Tettmar @ 8:21 am

Gale Dyvig has just posted some code in the forums showing how to use the Microsoft Office Document Imaging OCR component to locate text on the screen, find its position and click on it. Very useful. You’ll find it here.

MODI is a component that comes with Microsoft Office. You need to ensure Microsoft Office Document Imaging and Office Shared Features / Proofing Tools is installed in Office Tools.

Thanks Gale!
