Hello all
I am trying to use Teststand to write a code which will read text on screen or text on pop up boxes
Is there a tool I can use to capture text from the screen? Once I figure this out then I can compare text captured with expected text
Thanks

Natively TestStand doesn't do this. You would need ot use some OCR software and call into it's API. Something like this maybe:
http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/
Also, if it is on a message box that is popped up from TestStand then wouldn't you know the text already since you are the one popping it up?

Hi,
The messagebox step type has an option for user to enter text and it can be read back.Refer to the examples in case it helps your use case.
