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. TESSERACT OCR is available for Windows users here: https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/tesseract/ Information on its use is generally available, this medium post provides an overview: https://medium.com/quantrium-tech/installing-and-using-tesseract-4-on-windows-10-4f7930313f82 During the testing I used version 5 of the software. 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

Interface for run videos with vlc media player with some options as hue settings for seeing color management in indipendent mode of video quality and before loading. In user temp folder create custom vlc config, run selected video. Requ. VLC. MP ==IMPORTANT== Last version is written and tested for VLC 2.0.8 Twoflower. I strongly reccomend using custom vlc.exe path setting for testing others vlc versions: you can save settings for each video including custom vlc path in multiple version installations. By default vlclauncher try retrieve last installation path from O.S. registry. Nov.21.2013 VLCLauncher don't work with vlc 2.1.0-2.1.1 (impossible to set) for -height and -language commands: "Rincewind" named version can't lauch choosing custom qt interface language. Custom hight video will be set only if try use clone filter after lauching, really appear that videos was suddenly resized not according command setting but internally option works properly.
