- For better object recognition enable Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA), add WMPAppHost class name to list of accepted windows, or simply enable '*'
- Use Text Recognition plugin to enable recognition of GUI objects by their text and perform operations to manipulate them
- Start converting any Framework developed in JScript to JavaScript, as it’s outdated. View More
