Abstract

A method for automatically extracting data from a chart includes generating and displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) enabling a user to select a screen area covering one or more screens at least partially, the screen area displaying a chart; in response to determining that the user has selected the screen area, automatically taking a screenshot of the selected screen area and automatically performing an image analysis of the screenshot for extracting data from the chart contained in the screenshot; in response to determining that the image analysis of the screenshot has completed successfully, automatically displaying or enabling a selectable GUI element; and in response to a select action of the user having selected said selectable GUI element, outputting the extracted data.
