Capture2Text Portable is a highly efficient tool that empowers users to effortlessly extract text from any desired screen section with a simple keyboard shortcut.

The best part is that it also provides the option to save the extracted text to the clipboard for easy access and further use. One thing we did notice during testing is that every once in a while, it gets confused and may provide an incorrect character, as shown in screenshot number 2 - problem copied over as Droblem, etc.

Supports 90+ languages, including Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish.

2: Press the OCR hotkey (Windows Key + Q) to begin an OCR capture.
3: Move your mouse to resize the blue capture box over the text that you want to OCR. You may hold down the right mouse button and drag it to move the entire capture box.
4: Press the OCR hotkey again (or left-click or press ENTER) to complete the OCR capture. The OCR'd text will be placed in the clipboard, and a popup showing the captured text will appear (the popup may be disabled in the settings).
