Press Release Summary: Feeds new program with text from other applications, OCR
copy/paste available

Press Release Body: What?
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. It uses OCR technology to grab text directly from the screen, without
interaction with application internals.

Why?
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.

- Captures text from rectangle
- Captures word from point
- Captures whole window
- Interactive text capture (user can select area or point on screen and capture text
from it)
- Unicode support
- Support different popular applications such as Office applications, internet
browsers, email and instant messaging applications, etc.
- Easy to integrate to your application
- Capture font information (face, size and color)

We provide C++, Visual Basic and C# samples in the trial version in order to
demonstrate the text capture library features.

How?
While most computer programs can make copies of text and paste it, but not all
screens or programs have these edit features. Screen OCR SDK captures from windows
that do not support copy/paste! It works with most windows control seen on your
computer: buttons, combo boxes, edit fields, status bars, tree views, Internet
Explorer windows and so on. It can capture all items of folder trees, file lists,
status lines, text content of messages and dialog boxes, include visible and
invisible items.

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.
