Automate Almost Any Task
Sikuli, developed at MIT and available for download for free for all platforms (Mac, PC, Linux) enables you to automate any dull or repetitive task without internal API support. It requires a little bit of scripting but it’s genius is that it uses image recognition to complete most tasks. Unlike many Macro recorders that require buttons to be in the same place, Sikuli will click on any button or data entry field you want it to by looking for that button anywhere on the screen using image recognition. The demo video makes this much clearer than I have.
