Eugene S proposed the following answer:
Hi,
Sikuli has this feature to find text in Region:
Region.text()
Prior to using it, you have to switch the search on. There are 2 separate
settings for dealing with text:
Settings.OcrTextSearch = True
Settings.OcrTextRead = True
So if you want to look for a text in a certain Region, it might look
like this:
reg = Region(x, y, w, h)
reg.find("text to be found")
However be aware that this feature does not always working as expected as there
are known issues of OCR (tesseract in this case) when working with rendered
computer text. Take a look at this for more info where RaiMan mentions certain
steps that steps that might be undertaken to improve the detection quality.

To get some idea what's actually being detected when you are working with
certain region, try:
print reg.text()
Cheers,
Eugene
