This is pretty much what it does - you get the screenshots as output from openQA (and a video, which is kinda awesome). But it still doesn't know what the text *is*: it can't store it in a database or email it to you. You have to actually look at the picture. You can't search it or compare it or anything. It's just a picture of some words.
