Hello, new to the forums and my apologies if this is the wrong place for this

I want to know if this is possible, if a program already exists, or how hard it would be to make such a program, if I need to pay someone to make it.

I am running a full screen game similar to World of Warcraft, if anyone has played it.
I am trying to find a program, that will detect text that is sent to me/displayed on my screen in the game. I would then like the program to make a loud obnoxious noise, once that string of text is detected.

I.E:
"Selected 'X' target"
Program then emits a loud noise.
