Not sure how to frame the question. I have quite a few videos that I am editting that are from video captured online. The software used would cause a word to show up on the video anytime the mouse was moved across a certain spot in the screen.. Most any segment more than a minute or so long would have this happen several times and it usually lasts for a few seconds.

I can of course delete them one at a time but since here are SO MANY I wondered if there is a feature that allows you to automatically delete all frames in a video that have an occurance of this word?

OCR embedded in video editing software is an interesting concept though

I agree, lol. However word recognition was not really what I had considered. That is one reason I said the question was hard to frame. I was not necessarliy thinking of recognizing a word, but anytime the SAME object appeared in the SAME place on a frame.
