'Find' coordinates of text on page

Apr 4, 2015 at 8:40am
Is there any way for an API to retrieve the coordinates of inputted text on the screen (not on the API itself)?

Example in pseudo code:
user types: "example"

example found at [400,355] //on my screen

I have no problem checking if the input is on the screen but I have no idea how to capture the coordinates without OCR which I don't want to have to do...

Ideas appreciated Thanks!!!

I don't know exactly how you want to go about doing this, but you would need to get the size of the characters and the spacing between them.
