There is a windows executable version of gnu ocr at 
http://jocr.sourceforge.net/download.html that (in combination with screen 
capture capability that pywinauto distributes) sort of can do that. An issue is 
that it's not exceedingly accurate, for instance it recognizes "2" as "1" (in 
the font that er, counts for me). I could probably manage such imprecisions but 
I would rather have an exact solution.
