DownloadThis 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:

Information on its use is generally available, this medium post provides an overview:

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
Features
- Capture defined area of the screen at specified intervals
- OCR analysis of saved screenshot using TESSERACT (required for use)
- Analysis of decoded text information to launch defined applications
