Can text be extracted from Robot framework screenshot?

Question

Is it possible to extract text from Screenshots from the robot framework? We will run a robot framework for a month to take a screenshot of our administration website per hour. There is some information(text) and I want to extract the information as text and evaluate in Excel. The output from actually doesn't matter.

Is it possible?

Any help would be appreciated

I doubt you can with robot framework, but you can try this with python to read images: https://pypi.org/project/pytesseract/

This is a wrapper for https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract developed by Google. It may fit your needs.

I don't know if you will have to use it with OpenCV, seems not.
