We are all living in new digital era. Computers are
everywhere, these days. Many homes have several PCs -
one for each family member. Tireless machines have
already become our helpers at many common tasks.
However, sometimes we need help ourselves.
Have you noticed that what we perceive as text can be
virtually anything in computers world? There are text
symbols displayed using various fonts, images
depicting single characters, words, phrases or even
paragraphs of text and dialog windows that display
some text that cannot be copied anywhere. If we only
need to view messages written using these techniques -
it is OK: our eyes do the job well. But what if we
need to edit or simply copy a text message that
appears to be an image or is written in a dialog box?
Do we have to retype it manually?
No way! Screen Capture can do it for us. Introducing
GrabText, the unique live text recognition software,
built around fonts sampling technology, the one and
only solution capable of converting virtually anything
to editable text!
GrabText operates as a character recognition module.
After integrating with your Windows system GrabText
displays an icon in TaskTray notifications area. Right-
clicking the icon brings up the Screen Capture menu.
From this menu you can select whether the application
should recognize characters from a window under cursor
or using selection rectangle, whether it should
interpret text only or text and graphics altogether.
Left-clicking the icon changes your cursor which means
you are ready to go.
Text capture module accepts information from
dialogboxes, messages, HTML, PDF, graphics, and even
3D. Once you have selected the desired object for
character recognition, GrabText starts recognizing
text using its font samples database. Afterwards, you
can copy the captured text to clipboard as plain text
or rich text format (RTF). Screen Capture tool can
even append text captured to current clipboard
contents.
