Version 0.9.9 (not beta) is almost done and should be released within a few days, but maybe I can include it there already.

Understand the main point of the tool is to help with learning, but it seems like I am using the program (rightly or wrongly) as often to just grab a couple lines to work with later as to try and puzzle out while I'm scanning.For the next major version after 0.9.9 I'm planning to add a feature to save identified words to a list and then export them to a text file/clipboard.
Even in current version you can copy only the text to clipboard (one word at a time); look at these options in config.txt:
# If set to 1, results are copied to clipboard automatically
COPY_TO_CLIPBOARD_AUTOMATIC=1
# Components included when copying results to clipboard
CLIPBOARD_INCLUDE_KANJI=1
CLIPBOARD_INCLUDE_KANA=0
CLIPBOARD_INCLUDE_DESCRIPTION=0
If you use this setup, you might want to turn off Automatic OCR mode and use left-clicks to target characters.
As for a real batch mode (where whole pages are scanned at once); it would be doable, but not easy. For example since user is currently asked to point to the first character in each word, I don't need to consider general layout of the page (except by trying to detect the local reading direction).

Given the effort you've put into this, it seems appropriate to drop a few bucks toward thanking you :-)I have been thinking about adding a donate button, but I have decided not to at the moment. The are various reasons; if you are interested I can discuss them in email.
