I am looking for a simple automation program?

I am looking for an automation program to help me automate some of my key entry.

Is there an application that can read the text on my screen and and based on the words it finds in certain areas, control mouse clicks and add text that I program it to add. I am not a programmer, so this would have to be simple to configure or to learn to configure.

Thanks

If you’re using Windows, there is a way to automate tasks using
scripting. It’s not exactly programming, but may seem like it to
many people. This is probably your only solution, since it sounds
like you’re looking to do customized tasks. Whether this solution
is simple is relative to your ability to learn and use it.

A simple scripting language, called AutoIt, can be found here:

It’s free and comes with a compiler which allows you to turn your
scripts into free-standing programs which will run on any version
of Windows. It will take some learning and practice, but there are
tutorials and help forums available.
