## What it is
SikuliX1 is the historical Java-based visual automation tool that uses OpenCV image recognition to locate on-screen GUI elements and drive them with simulated mouse and keyboard input, with OCR support via Tesseract. This repository is a read-only archived mirror of RaiMan's upstream project; active development continues in the OculiX fork.

## Use cases
- automate desktop apps that have no scripting API
- write visual GUI tests based on screenshots
- click and type into anything visible on screen
- automate legacy software without DOM or accessibility access
- script repetitive GUI workflows with Python or Ruby
- read text from the screen with OCR during automation

## When to choose
- you need to automate GUIs where you only have screenshots to work with
- you want the classic, well-documented SikuliX 2.x behavior
- you are studying the historical SikuliX codebase

## When to avoid
- you want active maintenance, bug fixes, or new features - use the OculiX fork instead
- you need modern Java (17+) or current OpenCV support
- you need to report bugs or request features, since this mirror is read-only
