Capture2Text 4.6.3
Capture2Text is a practical and effective software solution whose main purpose is to capture specific areas of your desktop and perform optical character recognition (OCR) operations, then save the results to the clipboard.
The application is operated through the use of keyboard shortcuts, so before using it, it is highly recommended to get used with hotkeys and other settings.
You have the possibility to set your own key shortcuts so you can capture the region you want, set the area you want to capture then paste the saved results into a document.
After launching Capture2Text, it will automatically redirect to your system tray menu so you won’t get disturbed from your daily work. Unless you toggle the specified key shortcuts, you won’t even know that the application is still running.
That being said, each time you need to perform speech recognition operations using a microphone or simply detect a specific language from a captured screen area, you can use Capture2Text. It works smoothly and by using the configured key shortcuts, it prompts out each time you trigger to right key.
Moreover, you are able to set the preferred OCR language and since the application provides you with support for various languages such as Japanese, Portugese or Russian, it displays accurate results each time you want to recognize a specific language.
Still, if the speech recognition option does not work as you might expected, Capture2Text will present you a list with the most likely transcriptions you can choose from. This way, you are able to correct the wrong recognized words.
Taking into consideration the main purpose it was designed for, Capture2Text proves to be a reliable and effective utility that manages to recognize the text from the captured screen area, generate accurate results and save them to your clipboard.
