Scanning specific pixels (and the hassle associated with it) was why I was hoping there was an OCR solution. I can try doing it this way but unfortunately, though the text to be scanned is always in the same place, the background behind it (this is a game) changes quite a bit. Might even match the color of the number image occasionally. I read another post of yours regarding OCR but I didn't see any mention of a utility that could scan an arbitrary region.

I run an application that displays a number in the upper right of the screen. The number is always in the same place, but it is displayed as an image. I need to receive an alert when that number passes a certain value. Is there a simple OCR solution for this task? Maybe some program that can do OCR processing on a specific region of the screen. Thanks in advance
