  • Setting this property to value smaller than zero, means that the same text will not be reported again until the capturing session has been stopped.

  • Setting this property to a value of zero means that the same text will be reported every time it is found.

  • Setting this property to a value larger than zero indicates the time that must pass between the same text to be reported again.
