Trigger: Screenshot Content

This trigger fires when specified text appears on screen or disappears, using OCR on screenshots. It is less efficient and less reliable than the Screen content trigger and should be used when that trigger does not work (for example in games or where apps block standard screen reading).

Options

Text to Match - The text to detect in screenshots
On Screen / Off Screen - Trigger when the text appears or disappears
Enable Regex - Use regular expressions for complex patterns
Ignore Case - Case-insensitive matching (default on)
Select Applications - Limit detection to specific apps
Save Results to Array - Store OCR results in an array variable

Examples

Example 1: Detect "Game Over" text

Triggers

Screenshot Content (On Screen): "Game Over"

Actions

Display Notification: "Game Over detected"
Speak Text: "Game over"

Example 2: Detect when loading text disappears

Triggers

Screenshot Content (Off Screen): "Loading"

Actions

Vibrate: Long Buzz

Notes

Secure apps that block screenshots will prevent this trigger from working
