Created an entire account just to leave this review, I hope this thing works better for Latin letters but I used it to translate Japanese text and not once did it even detect the correct character, I assume this problem only gets worse in Chinese or Korean translations. If you're looking into this for a translation of any of the language mentioned, a blurry Google lens taking a picture of a screenshot through a monitor screen genuinely works 10 times better than this

Read settings.ini or Preferences first! I don't use it daily. A Windows script reminds me of its usage (replace \n with new lines to use the code): @echo off\necho Set the pointer at the top-left corner of the required text.\necho If necessary, press Windows+1 (not on the numpad!) for [language other than the default].\necho Press F5 (or whatever you set in settings.ini or Preferences)\necho and complete the selection.\nstart "" Capture2Text.exe\npause\nset /p P=[Enter] to end the Capture2Text process. [Space][Enter] to exit this window.\nif defined P exit \ntaskkill /f /im Capture2Text.exe\nif ERRORLEVEL 255 (echo Access denied) else (taskkill /f /im explorer.exe) && (if ERRORLEVEL 128 (echo Process not found) else (start "" explorer.exe))

I very happily took the time to create and register an account on sourceforge.net in order to leave this review. Capture2Text is simply awesome. - simple to understand - perfect execution - intuitive - fast - clean - efficient - stable - free (I'm willing to pay!) To the developer of this app Christopher Brochtrup (I used the app to OCR your name! lol), and to Sourceforge, Thank you so much. Wish you the best in your future ventures.

This appears to be the easiest way to capture text from the screen within VB.Net (free of cost that is!)
