    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
--- general comment 
          screen.wait(txtImage, 10);
           String extractText = screen.find(txtImage).text();

This does not really make sense:
          Match theText = screen.wait(txtImage, 10); // gives the region of the image
          String extractText = theText.text();

or even shorter:
          String extractText = screen.wait(txtImage, 10).text()

--- your problem
As I understand, the region on the screen of the found txtImage contains the text you want to read and this area changes.

--- how to:
- find some image near the text region, that does not change.
- define the region with the text relative to this match
- read the text from this region

meta code:
ref = find(someReferenceImage)
textRegion = ref.offset(x, y).grow(....) // x, y and ... have to be evaluated manually
txt = textRegion.text()
