Hi,

What is the difference between the Image Recognitaion feature of Macro Scheduler and AppNavigator ?

With Macro Scheduler you have to write code. Like this:

With AppNavigator you don't write any code. You capture each step in the process as an image and assign actions to it:

AppNavigator also lets you assign an action when the image is found and not found. So you don't have to write code to handle error conditions. It also learns where the image was found last time so that it can speed up detection next time.

In short - AppNavigator is code-free and quicker. You can build routines extremely quickly. Also easier to maintain as you don't have to modify code to change a step - just change the actions on the step or change the image completely.
