You need an OCR library for that. One possibility is Office 2007 OCR, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/office...plication.aspx. Otherwise, look for commercial implementations.

In case you have a constant font ,colour and positions you could try something with pixel comparing :
First making all pixels black that are the colour you want and the rest white.
Than check how many pixels are in a vertical line beneath eachother and compare that with values you know to find the character value
