IDEA: OCR & paste

(1/7) > >>

alien:
I think of a tool to select and copy/paste text from image files.

iorange28880:
That's a neat idea, to have OCR built into CH+S.

mouser:
there is a fantastic shareware to do this kind of stuff - it's called Kleptomania:

kfitting:
Problem is Kleptomania (and every other software I saw to do this type of thing) cannot OCR a picture displayed on screen.  This would be an awesome feature... though no doubt harder.

kfitting,

I just googled Screen Desktop OCR.  The features list includes the following - note particularly the section in parentheses in the first claim, BMP and JPG images:


Recognizes text in any type of document (HTML, Word, Notepad, PDF, BMP or JPG image) or in any part of the screen and saves it to clipboard.

Grabs texts that cannot be saved or printed

Recognizes texts in any language that cannot be saved or printed

Works with all American and European character sets, including the Central-European and Cyrillic

Captures "hidden" text ignoring blocking scripts on Internet pages

Sanity check: I have not tried it myself.  $29.95 shareware.
