inspector text
$12 - PrecisionCalc

inspector text is an Add-In for Microsoft Excel that adds several extremely powerful, yet easy to use, search & replace worksheet formula functions:

-- Use several powerful wildcards and substitutions.
-- Search from left to right or from right to left.
-- Choose whether search is case sensitive or not.
-- Restrict search to text that appears before (or does not appear before) other text you specify.
-- Offset both the position and the length of the text found by any amount.
-- If replacing text, choose whether to replace only the first matching string found, or to replace all matching strings found.
-- If replacing text, rearrange text as desired, instead of (or in addition to) replacing it.
-- Return any of 22 kinds of information about the text found, such as position, position from right, text string found, count of all text strings found, array of all text strings found, etc. etc.
-- Choose a friendly, custom message to return if no match is found, instead of returning a standard error, if desired.

inspector text also adds worksheet formula functions that exclude undesired characters from text, and that retrieve desired characters from text, and that exclude non-numeric or retrieve numeric characters from text including negatives in parentheses and numbers in exponential notation.

inspector text adds a worksheet formula function that performs Regular Expressions search and replace.

inspector text also adds a worksheet formula function that evaluates concatenated formulas in which the operator is text (such as "1+2", where everything including the "+" is text).

inspector text adds another worksheet formula function that returns ordinal indicators for cardinal numbers (it returns "1st" for 1, "2nd" for 2, "3rd" for 3, etc.)

inspector text also provides online help from Excel's Tools menu, and utilizes Excel's Insert Function dialog to make using inspector text functions more convenient.

ActiveTextBox
$17 - AbsoluteWay

Do you have any time to waste for typing in some text into dialog boxes again and again even though you've just filled that very same form a short time ago? Unfortunately, many computer users do not have any choice, since they rely on the built-in tools that come with Windows and that do not have an option (or have a very rudimentary and limited option) to automatically insert text strings into dialog boxes. Lucky for these people there is a reliable and affordable tool that does just that (automatically inserts text into dialog boxes) for any Windows applications and practically every Windows version (Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP, to be exact). ActiveTextBox is really a simple, yet very handy, beneficial and time-saving software application. The principle behind ActiveTextBox is very simple - it saves every text string entered and matches it correctly to the dialog boxes where it was entered. It means that if you ever have to enter a search term, file name or path, e-mail address, or personal data, you can simply select it from the list instead of wasting time for typing the same information over and over again. It may seem like a small thing at first, but only after few days of using the program nobody agrees to switch back. The other secret of program's popularity is its flexible setup system. For example, as the list of text strings keeps growing, you can sort them out alphabetically or in the order of regular use. In addition, the users can create their own custom lists of the text strings that are most commonly used - such as names or logins. The great thing about the program is that it runs in the background and is launched upon system startup, so the users never have to remember about it. Importantly, the program comes with drag-and-drop feature that allows associating any dialog box with any text string(s). For this, the snapshots of dialog boxes are taken, so that specific text strings can be assigned to each particular form.

TextCaptureX
$39.5 - Deskperience

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.
