Developer’s Description

Add the ability to capture text from any window to your applications.

TextGRAB SDK is a COM library that allows screen text capture in Windows applications. You can use it to capture text from any application that doesn't provide communication API's in order to feed another program. You can capture text from any part of any window including: status bar messages, Windows error messages and more, list controls, list views, menus, any custom controls, etc. TextGRAB SDK is not an OCR based solution. Which makes it work faster than OCR based solution and allows capture text even if some custom fonts are used. TextGRAB SDK can be used in different types of software like dictionaries, translation tools, or organizer applications.

Version 3.1 adds 64-bit platforms support, allows using multiple TextGRAB SDK instances, apturing text from Java applications, capturing text snapshot, setting capture timeout, getting Hardware ID, and getting Trial period information.
