  • Read settings.ini or Preferences first! I don't use it daily. A Windows script reminds me of its usage (replace \n with new lines to use the code): @echo off\necho Set the pointer at the top-left corner of the required text.\necho If necessary, press Windows+1 (not on the numpad!) for [language other than the default].\necho Press F5 (or whatever you set in settings.ini or Preferences)\necho and complete the selection.\nstart "" Capture2Text.exe\npause\nset /p P=[Enter] to end the Capture2Text process. [Space][Enter] to exit this window.\nif defined P exit \ntaskkill /f /im Capture2Text.exe\nif ERRORLEVEL 255 (echo Access denied) else (taskkill /f /im explorer.exe) && (if ERRORLEVEL 128 (echo Process not found) else (start "" explorer.exe))
  • I very happily took the time to create and register an account on sourceforge.net in order to leave this review. Capture2Text is simply awesome. - simple to understand - perfect execution - intuitive - fast - clean - efficient - stable - free (I'm willing to pay!) To the developer of this app Christopher Brochtrup (I used the app to OCR your name! lol), and to Sourceforge, Thank you so much. Wish you the best in your future ventures.
  • This appears to be the easiest way to capture text from the screen within VB.Net (free of cost that is!)
  • Good
  • Thanks for this, saves much time when there's a need to capture text! Would be PERFECT if there's support for shortcuts to toggle retaining line breaks quickly, as the option now requires a number of clicks.
