TextCaptureX

TextCaptureX is a COM library that allows screen text extraction in Windows applications.It is accessible from any COM aware programming languages.
You can use it to extract text from any application that doesn't provide communication API's in order to feed another program. You can also use it to extract text from legacy systems, file directories, status bar messages, Windows error messages and more.
TextCaptureX is not OCR based so it's incredible fast. So it's convenient to embed it into dictionaries or 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 the text already translated/explained.
We provide C++, Visual Basic and C# samples into the trial version in order to demonstrate the text capture library features.
Limitations:TextCaptureX cannot capture text from scanned documents, faxes and doesn't recognize PostScript/PDF/Adobe Acrobat fonts. Also it doesn't work in Windows 95, 98 and ME.

$44.95 - Salty Brine Software

TEXTfromPDF is a text extraction tool for WinXP/2000 that automates the conversion of Adobe PDF documents to text files. The PDFs may be on local drives, network drives, or on the Internet.

PDF files are great for exchanging formatted documents between people who don't use the same software. But sometimes we need to be able to take the text out of a PDF file and use it in Web pages, word processing documents, PowerPoint presentations, desktop publishing software, search and indexing applications, or in content management systems.

TEXTfromPDF provides access to the text content in PDF documents without requiring any Adobe product. The extracted content is saved to text files where it can be easily searched, archived, repurposed, and managed. A console version is included for script or batch file execution.

What matters most to you? Speed or Accuracy? TEXTfromPDF offers both using multiple extraction engines optimized for different purposes.

Accuracy?
