This software captures image from custom area of desktop and passes is to GNU OCR engine Tesseract (http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/).

OCR accuracy depends on OCR engine which is highly configurable (language dictionaries, white list of characters, font definition etc.).

Unfortunately Tesseract-OCR ver 3.0 does not support DLL linkage. Executable is spawned every time when OCR is executed.

Features:

• capture
• capture and copy
• OCR
• capture, OCR and copy
• systray minimization
• load/save image
• copy/paste from clipboard

All functions are transparently available from menu.

User selects to be captured area using mouse. Right mouse click anchors corner to current cursor position. Opposite rectangle follows mouse cursor till left mouse button click. Right mouse click may repeatedly switch anchored and loose corner to adjust them finely.
