Python OCR Screen Monitor Alert
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I need a small Windows-only desktop tool that sits quietly in the background, keeps an eye on a two application window, and reads any numbers or short text that appear there. Each time fresh data is detected, the script should run a mathematical calculation that I will supply (simple formula, nothing exotic). The moment the result meets my condition, I want to know right away through both a pop-up notification and a short sound.
Technology-wise, I am already comfortable working with Python, so please build it in Python using screen-capture libraries such as MSS, OpenCV for basic computer-vision handling, and either PaddleOCR or Tesseract for the text recognition. The solution must continue monitoring for as long as the program is open; no browser automation or auto-clicking is involved—just screen reading and alerts.
Deliverables
• A standalone Windows executable (or easily run Python script) that lets me point to the specific window to watch.
• OCR routine wired to my custom math logic, with parameters I can tweak in a config or simple UI.
• Dual notifications: on-screen pop-up plus sound file playback.
• Clear instructions or README so I can rebuild or extend the tool later.
Please share any similar projects or GitHub samples, your estimated timeline, and whether the quoted ₹10,000 MVP budget is workable for you.
