Hi,

When I was developing my own sekuli automation using both sikulix IDE(I'm using IDE to take screenshots) and Java on eclipse, I find a slight problem.

When using a region to find and or read text, sometime the images you want to interact with on a website are little bit down on the screen and I would need to scroll down for sikuli to find the images. This offsets the region where I want to read the text.

For me the solution I found is to zoom-in a little bit for all images to appear at once.

With image patterns I can take a screenshot and use offset to click at a specific place on an image. Correct me if I'm wrong I think the pattern will look for an image on a screen and use the screenshoted image to look for a specific place to click on a screen, it does not use a region. Which I think is more reliable even when the website is scrolled up and down, as long as the image is visible the click function or other supported functions will be possible.

This got me thinking and to ask this question.

Is it possible with sikuli to take a screenshot, then within the screenshoted image create a rectangle around the text or around where the text will appear(if the text is on and off) then read that text as normal? 

The idea is the text will be found even if the page has scrolled up or down as long as the image is visible.
