Capture2Text enables users to quickly OCR a small portion of the screen and, by default, save the result to the clipboard. Capture2Text can OCR 50+ languages. By default only the following languages are installed:
- English
- French
- German
- Italian
- Japanese
- Spanish
To acquire other languages:
- Download the appropriate OCR language dictionaries from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/capture2text/files/Dictionaries/
- Extract the ".zip" file you just downloaded with 7-Zip or similar decompression software.
- Drag all files contained within the zip file to this path in the Capture2Text directory:
$Env:ChocolateyInstall\lib\capture2text\Capture2Text\Utils\tesseract\tessdata
- Restart Capture2Text
Note: Arabic and Hindi are more CPU intensive and will thus be slower to OCR.
To install the Chinese (NHocr) language pack:
- Download nhocr from: https://sourceforge.jp/projects/nhocr/
- Open it with 7-Zip and copy
PLM-zh_CN.dic and cctable-zh_CN to $Env:ChocolateyInstall\lib\capture2text\Capture2Text\Utils\nhocr\Dic
- Restart Capture2Text
