Screen OCR SDK is a programmers' library that allows capturing text from Windows screen, under the control of another program. Use it to capture text from any application that doesn't provide communication API's in order to feed your program with text. It gives output as text, not graphics which allows further processing, such as dictionary lookup or passing to translation tools.
Imagine: your customer captures any text on screen, even when copy/paste is not available, with a hotkey and with a mouse click your dictionary pops up with text already translated/explained.
You can capture text from any part of any window including: status bar messages, Windows error messages, proprietary DOS console programs, menus, any custom controls, etc. This software is using OCR technology to grab text directly from the screen, without requiring interaction with application internals.
Screen OCR SDK is OCR (Optical Character Recognition) based solution, which makes it work precisely and incredibly fast and allows capture text even if some custom fonts are used. Screen OCR SDK can be used in different types of software like automation software, dictionaries and translation tools, organizer applications, etc.
It fully supports DOS Console windows (Lucida Console or any other custom font), so you can feed a new program with text data from legacy systems, such as HIS (Hospital Information Systems), teller terminal windows, and so on. Use it to capture window contents from any existing/legacy application
that has no communication interface and is impossible, prohibited or expensive to change.
The software provides C++, Visual Basic and C# samples in the trial version in order to demonstrate the text capture library features.
