Capture2text – OCR on the Go

Capture2Text enables users to do the following operations:

1. Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Allows the user to quickly snapshot a small portion of the screen, OCR it and (by default) save the result to the clipboard.

2. Speech Recognition (experimental)
Using speech recognition the user can speak into their microphone and Capture2Text will convert the speech to text. If the speech recognition technology is not 100% sure, Capture2Text will present the user with a list of the most likely transcriptions. The selected result will (by default) be copied to the clipboard.

The application supports 50+ languages including Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. It is absolutely portable and does not require installation.

How to launch (no installation required):
* Unzip the contents of the zip file. Make sure that there are no Asian or other non-ASCII characters in the path where you unzipped it. Do not unzip it to the "Program Files" directory (this will avoid issues related to write privileges).
* Double-click on Capture2Text.exe. You should see the Capture2Text icon on the bottom-right of your screen (though it might be hidden in which case you will have to click on the "Show hidden icons" arrow).
