Here's a short illustration on how to get text from a region.
You have to be careful to ensure the region is visible and in focus.


# this script illustrates one way to use text
myReg= Region(100,100,500,600)   # to define and set a region to examine

myReg.highlight(2)   # highlight the region for 2 seconds to confirm we are looking at the right area
myText = myReg.text() # get the text from my region and put the text into myText
print myText

You could branch your script execution based on the value of myText.
