Hello everyone,
Recently I have found the ScreenCapture function in the FileExchange http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24323-screencapture-get-a-screen-capture-of-a-figure-frame-or-component
What I want is to capture certain rectangular area of screen from webbrowser and then using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to recognize the text. http://uk.mathworks.com/help/vision/examples/recognize-text-using-optical-character-recognition-ocr.html
So what I have done so far:
I = screencapture(gca);
% Perform OCR
BW = im2bw(I);
marker = imerode(BW , strel('line',500,0));
Iclean = imreconstruct(marker, BW );imshow(Iclean);
results = ocr(Iclean, 'TextLayout', 'Block');
results.Text
Where the input image was
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/156757/image.jpeg)
And the output I got was quite impressive: 2.311.592 /
But the only problem I have is how to select specific region outside Matlab?

How is the region specified? Are you looking for a window with a specific name? Is the window created at a specific position on the screen? We cannot guess this detail and Matlab cannot also.
Which operating system are you working with?
Why don't you download the image directly using webread? Is the indirection over the browser useful?
