title: I need to build OCR scrapers
body: <p><strong>I want to be able to build OCR scraping applications</strong> which are able to :</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>automatically detect when predetermined softwares are running on our computer (examples of softwares we need to scrap : web browsers, or any software window like for example word, a media player, powerpoint, a gaming software or whatever...). It should be able to detect when this window is moved in the user's screen and follow it. Sometimes a window can temporarily hide or overlap the scanned window : our scraper must be able to deal with these situations and continue scanning even in this case. </li>
  <li>when it has detected one of the predetermined software is running, it should automatically open one specific excel files to export the data.</li>
  <li>do an OCR scan of this window in real time and when a predetermined event happens in the scanned window, launch an extraction of the data (in a timelapse faster than 1 second since the predetermined event happened)</li>
  <li>the data might be : text, numbers, OCR recognition of images, or simply the colour of predetermined pixels in the window.</li>
  <li>extract the information and paste it into specific cells of an opened excel sheet. (please, let me know the other destination output formats your softwares allows).</li>
  <li>call a macro in the excel output file after each pasting.</li>
  <li>save a copy of each pasting in excel files stored in a determined directory (this action should not require to open excel when a new copy must be saved and stored, it should be done in the background). </li>
  <li>several scrapers should be able to work at the same time on the same computer. For example, a situation with 2 scrapers extracting data from a gaming software + 1 scraper extracting the subtitles from a movie on VLC at the same time should be possible.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>So at this stage, I was wondering if there were existing softwares that would allow me to build such scraping applications? (given that I don't code).</strong></p>
  
  <p>I googled it and found uipath, but I have no idea what it's worth.</p>
  
  <p>The other option would be to hire someone, but i'd like to be able to do that myself in the future.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
