I can see why you wish for that, and don't want to derail your OP entirely, but trying to keep on-topic I think my middle paragraph is pertinent, asking the question "what problem is being solved?". If it's the scant trading in Beta 2, that situation may be resolved in three weeks' time with Beta 3, or later once the game properly gets going. I'd say first define the problem, then find a solution. Are people that sure that trading will be so challenging in the live game that going to the effort of OCR screenscraping will really be worth it?
Looking back to your OP subject line, I presume this was answered the first time another poster replied "yes".
Good luck with which ever way you go. I merely observe that a problem in B2 may no longer be an issue in B3, B4, Bn, or the live game.
