Keyboard output into a text box.

Jun 2, 2009 at 5:38pm
I am looking for a way to output text (based on input) to a text box. I do not mean file i/o. For example, the way Windows Speech Recognition (if you've ever played around with it) is able to type what you say into any text box, for example, the search bar on google.

How is this done?

Thank you.

As a side note, how about character recognition? Before you ask, I am not attempting to make a captcha code breaking application.

What I mean to do is to create a program which can read text off of a picture or something, and then output the text onto... maybe google search?

You know as how some images are watermarked with a URL? For example, if I were able to read the URL and write it into any text field (one that is not part of my own program).

For example if the program finds a watermarked image, and then reads the URL (it doesn't have to be that accurate, I'm not looking to create some amazingly powerful commercial software with this) and enters it into the address bar on, for example, internet explorer?

I would like to add to the question.

I would like to also be able to click a window. I can set the mouse position easily, but I cannot find how to click.
