This application requires the "TESSERACT" OCR engine to decode text in a captured screenshot. The text file can be analysed to look for specific trigger words which will run a defined application.

The application provides an automated method of capturing a screenshot, the area for which can be defined. The screenshot can be captured at specific repeating intervals. All configuration is stored in a text file called "config.txt" By default the timed screenshot is disabled on start-up, loading the configuration file will enable it. The information in the text file created by TESSERACT is analysed for any words in the optional triggers.txt file
