Filip Wrote:I select the image and get the correct kanji in the upper corner.The OCR isn't instantaneous - it depends on the size of the selection and the speed of your PC. Wait a second or two before pasting.
When I paste however, it often shows me the kanji of the previous selection. (exactly one before.)
Any idea or solution?
cheers
You may OCR the screen via command line by calling Capture2Text in this format:
Capture2Text.exe x1 y1 x2 y2 [output_file]
Required arguments:
x1 - X1-Coordinate of the screen
y1 - Y1-Coordinate of the screen
x2 - X2-Coordinate of the screen
y2 - Y2-Coordinate of the screen
Optional arguments:
output_file - The OCR'd text will be written to this file if specified.
Capture2Text will read settings.ini to determine settings such as OCR language
and output options (clipboard, popup, etc.).
Examples:
Capture2Text.exe 10 152 47 321 output.txt
Capture2Text.exe 10 152 47 321Sometimes Capture2Text consistantly makes the same OCR mistakes such as
recognizing an "M" as "I\/|".
By editing the subtitutions.txt file in the Capture2Text directory, you may
tell Capture2Text to substitute one text string for another text string.
Just find the appropriate language section and add one substitution
per line in this format:
from_text = to_text
Example (adding 2 substitutions to the English section):
English:
I\/| = M
>< = X
To create a substitution regardless of language, add the substitution to
the "All:" section.
Special tokens and escape characters:
%A_Space% = Single space character
%A_Tab% = Single tab character
%Equal% = Equals (=)
`, = Comma (,)
`% = Percent sign (%)
`` = Backtick (`)
`n = Single linefeed character (\n)
`r = Single carriage return character (\r)
You may disable a substitution by adding a "#" in front.honeybunch Wrote:This seems like a pretty amazing tool. Unfortunately, I am totally unable to use it. Whatever language I'm using and whatever text I select, the preview box stays blank, and nothing is copied to my clipboard.From the readme:
Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong? I'd really love to be able to use this program, but I'm clueless about how to get it working for me.

avoid issues related to write privileges).

I just unzipped it again to "C:\temp", as you suggested, and now it works great. Guess I'll just keep it there and make a shortcut.

Also, sorry for not mentioning my operating system. I'm usually better about giving information like that if I have to ask for help. I'm on XP Professional with Service Pack 3, if you still want to know.
Anyhow, thanks for your help, and for making this program. It's great.

You can OCR with few clicks one of those light novel that comes in jpeg entirely with 読んde ココ and It's very precise.e.Typist is another good option. The cheaper NEO version supports Japanese and English.
