Read Screen Region (OCR - Optional)

py read_region.py 100 100 500 300     # Read text from coordinates

Note: Requires Tesseract OCR installation. Use read_window.py instead for better results.

Workflow Pattern

Read window - Extract text from specific window (fast, accurate)
Read UI elements - Get buttons, links with coordinates
Screenshot (if needed) - See visual layout
Act - Click element by name or coordinates
Handle dialogs - Interact with popups/save dialogs
Read window - Verify changes

Screen Coordinates

Origin (0, 0) is top-left corner
Your screen: 2560x1440 (check with screenshot)
Use coordinates from screenshot analysis

Examples

Open Notepad and type

# Press Windows key
py key_press.py "win"

# Type "notepad"
py type_text.py "notepad"

# Press Enter
py key_press.py "enter"

# Wait a moment, then type
py type_text.py "Hello from AI!"

# Save
py key_press.py "ctrl+s"

Click in VS Code

# Read current VS Code content
py read_window.py "Visual Studio Code"

# Click at specific location (e.g., file explorer)
py click.py 50 100

# Type filename
py type_text.py "test.js"

# Press Enter
py key_press.py "enter"

# Verify new file opened
py read_window.py "Visual Studio Code"

Monitor Notepad changes

# Read current content
py read_window.py "Notepad"

# User types something...

# Read updated content (no screenshot needed!)
py read_window.py "Notepad"

Text Reading Methods

Method 1: Windows UI Automation (BEST)

Use read_window.py for any window
Use read_ui_elements.py for buttons/links with coordinates
Use read_webpage.py for browser content with structure
Gets actual text data (not image-based)

Method 2: Click by Name (NEW)

Use click_element.py to click buttons/links by name
No coordinates needed - finds elements automatically
Works across all windows or target specific window

Method 3: Dialog Handling (NEW)

Use handle_dialog.py for popups, save dialogs, alerts
Read dialog content, click buttons, type text
Auto-dismiss with common buttons (OK, Cancel, etc.)

Method 4: Screenshot + Vision (Fallback)

Take full screenshot
AI reads text visually
Slower but works for any content

Method 5: OCR (Optional)

Use read_region.py with Tesseract
Requires additional installation
Good for images/PDFs with text

Safety Features

pyautogui.FAILSAFE = True (move mouse to top-left to abort)
Small delays between actions
Smooth mouse movements (not instant jumps)

Requirements

Python 3.11+
pyautogui (installed ✅)
pillow (installed ✅)

Tips

Always screenshot first to see current state
Coordinates are absolute (not relative to windows)
Wait briefly after clicks for UI to update
Use ctrl+z friendly actions when possible
