"ScreenScraper SDK long ago became our most important screen scrape engine and has actually let my company bring respectability for screen scrapers back to our industry. My competitor had trashed the screen scraper reputation with their junky screen OCR tactics. " - This is a real quote from a customer.

Forget about screen OCR taking up seconds to complete. Typical results are in the 0 - 60 milliseconds range.

Yes, that's true. Regardless font, size, color and language the text on screen is retrieved with 100% accuracy. Works with UNICODE, that means it includes far - east and left to right languages.

According to Wikipedia screen scraping techniques are fragile and error prone. We have spent the last 7 years perfecting them. Our stress test suite regularly performs 1 million consecutive scraping in different applications. Impact on the target application is minimal and not noticeable to the user.

One of the biggest challenges in screen scraping and UI Automation area is identification of GUI elements (windows, dialogs, controls) between different runs of the app that displays them. Using screen coordinates to locate a GUI element on the screen it is not an option. We generate a plain text query selector that uniquely identifies controls among its siblings.

UI Automation and screen scraping works together to achieve code free integration between 2 systems. We offer a very simple and consistent way to manipulate the GUI controls exposed by other apps. You can click, write text, select items, and check controls in the same manner regardless of controls underlying technology.

There are just so many GUI frameworks we can hardly keep count. Just to name a few we support: Old Win32 API, Winforms, WPF, Silverlight, Java (AWT, JRE, SWT), MS and Open Office, Adobe Reader & Pro, FoxPro, IE and FireFox, Flash, Flex, QT, DOS console, Terminal emulation and green screen software. We literally can automate and grab text from any apps created with any of these UI technologies.

We built the technology from ground up to be easily used by other apps. Our own Studio is heavily relying on SDK. For any COM or .Net aware language will be a snap to dig into library’s methods. Studio generates ready to be used source code for most scraping scenarios in the language of your choice: c++, c#, vb6, vb.net, Delphi, javascript. Please note that we do offer professional services that will allow you to get up to speed in no time.

Well, screen scraping and ui automation still remains a difficult proposition. There are so many apps and most developers are not familiar dealing with the user interface of other apps. We dubbed ourselves as amazing support and take it literally. This is in our own genes as developers to help other developers using our code. From our beautiful and simple online ticketing system to remote sessions to diagnose issues on your computer you can rely on us to solve your screen scraping and GUI automation issues.
