Onderwerp: Best free OCR software?

Aangepast door WakeUpPeople (29. april 2006, 12:51:41)

Can someone recommend?
Imagine you receive system message from windows as MessageBox and want to save it as text.
Is there some fast and free solution with fewest possible steps to put the image via alt+printscreen to clipboard, decode to text by some OCR software which saves the result back to clipboard as text?
In example I mentioned of course there is another solution aswell, to find window handle, then to find the text, but I mean generally to convert image to text on the fly.

TheLamer: Grab screenshot, edit it (i.e. destroy anything other than certain region (message box area), run OCR on it, push it to clipboard. Should work, but I don't do windows (for any cheaper than $100 a minute, anyway)...
