TextGRAB SDK

If you're looking for a convenient and efficient solution for capturing text from Windows applications, look no further than TextGRAB SDK. This COM library is specifically designed to allow you to capture text from any application that doesn't offer its own communication API's. This can be especially useful if you need to feed that captured text to another program.

With TextGRAB SDK, you can capture text from a wide variety of sources, including status bar messages, custom controls, error messages, menus, list controls, and more. The software isn't OCR based, so you can expect faster performance than with OCR solutions, even when dealing with custom fonts.

One of the great things about TextGRAB SDK is that it can be used to create a range of different types of software. Whether you're building dictionaries, translation tools, or organizer applications, this software is incredibly versatile.

Some of the features of this software include capturing text from rectangles, capturing a word from a point, capturing an entire window, and capturing a snapshot of text. You can also set a capture timeout, engage in interactive text capture (allowing a user to select an area or point on the screen and then capture text from it), enjoy Unicode support, and capture font information (including face, size, and color). Plus, TextGRAB SDK can capture passwords hidden behind asterisks.

One limitation of TextGRAB SDK is that it can't capture text from PDF files. However, the software is supported on a range of different operating systems, including Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista.

The trial version of TextGRAB SDK includes the software itself, as well as API documentation and demo applications (written in C++, C#, VB.NET, and VB) with source code. Overall, TextGRAB SDK is a great choice for anyone who wants to capture text from Windows applications quickly and easily.
