I need help to find a good keyboard macro program. In my work I have a lot of repetitive tasks that need to be done, inside of some very specific software programs. I need a good macro program that will do these repetitive tasks. This makes my work easier.
For years I used a program called EZ Macros and it was great. Simple to use and it helped a lot. Unfortunate it has not been upgraded in years and no longer works in the Windows 7 world. So I am at a loss here of finding a good program now.
I also use AutoHotkey, but I wouldn’t call it easy to use. I’ve never really found a macro tool that is intelligent enough to do what I want (or can be scripted to do so), and is also simple.
One very interesting project is Sikuli, which addresses the key problem of macro applications not knowing where buttons, text boxes etc. are on the screen, by means of image recognition. You take a snapshot of the thing you want the macro to use, and it finds it wherever it is on the page. Cool.
