Steven Avery:
Hi Folks,

A llittle follow-up.

Abby ScreenReader is a $10 gem.
 
Very simple .. click, then make the box (or the whole page) and click again.
The text in the section goes to clipboard, ready to paste.

I used it the other day on a number of paragraphs in google books (the ones
in Limited Preview that do not have a text mode) for a project and it works
very fine.

This is ONLY a text generator to clipboard, it is not screenshot --> printer.

Correction, it can send an image as well to the clipboard, so that might have
uses too.

They added a 15 day trial, if it meets your needs, you will know in 15 minutes.

Shalom,
Steven

I tried installing it the other day.  It was very insistent on starting with Windows.  I run WinPatrol Plus, and Scottie kept barking at it because it wouldn't take No for an answer.  I see no reason whatsoever why it should start with Windows; I expect to load it as necessary.  I got annoyed, and concerned that it was behaving like malware.  I uninstalled it without even trying it out.

Was that too hasty?  Does anyone have good long-term experience with it?

It worked well for me, FWIW

Following your reply, I re-downloaded and re-installed it.  This time I noticed and unchecked the box that said "Start with Windows?"

<sigh>

Thanks   :-[

 ;D Almost all of us all do stuff like that, far too often in my own case.
