To take a one-shot, there's a solution(closed). Take a screen shot programmatically

Is there any sample that takes screen shot periodically on background thread?

    ....and this is the case for closed ecosystems – jpschroeder Feb 03 '16 at 01:43
  • Taking a screenshot when an exception happens isn't necessarily a bad idea... But taking one periodically sounds rather shady. – CodyEngel Feb 03 '16 at 01:48
  • This is shady please don't help him lol – JakeWilson801 Feb 03 '16 at 01:56

    What I'm trying to do is to make a OCR based translation program. But compared to [tess-two](https://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two), I want to take an image from screen not from camera. Then my program translate english to korean automatically like tooltip dictionary. That's why I want to take screen shot periodically. Anyway, thank you guys for your quick response and interest though. – Daniel Yun Feb 03 '16 at 02:21

Basically you want to repeat the steps mentioned in that solution every X seconds?

This thread would give you a good idea on where to begin.
