How to read information from the LCD display (like a calculator)?

There is a device, it has an LCD display, like a conventional calculator. The task is to read information from it periodically and transfer it to a computer.
With reading / transmission - I’ll do it on arduino, but which sensor should I use to determine if the display segment is on or not?
The device is unique in its kind, and it is forbidden to disassemble it in order to connect to the contacts, although even if you manage to connect, it’s not a fact that it will be easier than reading from the screen ....

Screenshot + OCR not an option? If it goes, then Habré is full of articles on implementation

This is a crazy decision, but what Roman Kulakovich suggests is the only possible option. In addition, if there are only the same type of numbers, OCR will be primitive.
In real life, this tricky device of yours needs to be left alone, and you need to take data from its sensors, process the MC and send it to the computer. If it is not possible to connect to the sensors, put your own
