Check if there is text on the screen

Hi Jacob, I tried to do as you said, but I didn't get the expected return :/ I don't know if I did something wrong.. but when I open the application that has the text informed it does nothing, I think it's not triggering my macro :/

Good morning Jacob, today i restarted my phone and went to test it, and now it is working correctly
Thanks for your help!I also wanted to find a text on what is displayed on my screen with this trigger but somehow when it is a web page it will also look down all the way to the bottom of the page even if its hidden under. What i want to find is just what is only being displayed in that particular area which my phone supported but not beyond when it is already hidden under without scrolling down. If its possible, How can i achieve that?
Ola,estou tentando fazer um post automático comacrodroidw para Facebook,consigo fazer ele entrar no Facebook clicar no ítem para postar,clicar na foto do peoduto que vai postar,mas quando coloco para clicar no título não sei como fazer para copiar e colar um título no lugar que pede o título ou na descrição do produto,por exemplo se eu vou em um bloco de notas e coloco para o macrodroid copiar o texto que está lá,quando o macrodroid volta para colar no Facebook não cola
In English please...
Thats what I need to achieve as well. I know its possible, I just don't know how to do it YET. Although I thought of a solution that works for me for now, so I wanted to suggest it for You as well.
I used Interface Interaction to long click in left top corner of a screen, then a gesture to swipe to right bottom corner to mark everything on screen, then to copy all of it. I am saving it in macrodroid variable and using trigger to check if this variable contains what I am looking for. It doesn't take that much time for a phone to do - 2 to 3seconds.
I know its rather amateur way but hey - if somethings stupid but works its not that stupid right?
I am lucky enough cause what I am looking for on that page is always on top of website
It might be scrolling cause long click has to be on something that can be copied. Try doing it with your finger first and just follow the same thing with actions.
I saw some posts that You can use touchtask plugin in macrodroid to save readable text from website to variable but I couldn't manage to make it work. If you are more advance than me maybe its worth giving it a try

Instead of TouchTask read screen contents action should do.

He meant the plugin TouchTask. It has Read Screen action, we can limit the query to retrieve just the visible items.
Thanks for the tip man but how did you save the clipboard content to a variable? Is it by text manipulation [extract]?Thats what I need to achieve as well.

Set variable action: {clipboard}
Yeah I have other macros with macrodroid variable change as trigger. And yeah - you can use play sound action to notify you when there is phrase you are looking for in clipboard
