BEFORE

Keep watching the screen

Time adds up as you keep checking again and again: “Maybe it will appear soon,” or “Did the display change?”

  • You cannot step away because you do not want to miss the timing
  • You keep checking while doing something else
  • You spend your attention waiting for a simple change

WITH MONIPATO

Notice only when it changes

Let Monipato do the watching. Choose the method that fits your target and check only when a change occurs.

  • Broadly detect changes in a selected area
  • Detect a specific image or icon
  • Detect text appearances or wording changes

DETECTION METHODS

Three detection methods for different targets

Monitor “something changed,” “this image appeared,” or “this text appeared” with the mode best suited to each task.

01
Supported

Rectangular Change Detection

Alerts you when anything changes in the selected area. Useful for broadly monitoring screen transitions or the appearance of an item.

  • Adjustable sensitivity
  • Difference score display
02
Supported

Template Image Comparison

Detects when a registered icon or item appears. Best when you already know exactly what you want to find.

  • Cut-out image registration
  • Match threshold adjustment
03
New

OCR Mode

Detects the appearance of text or changes in wording, expanding monitoring to situations that image matching alone could not cover.
