Capture text on the desktop screen with on-screen text recognition (OCR)

https://www.macrorecorder.com - the desktop automation solution Macro Recorder can capture text anywhere on the screen (even within bitmaps) and process it, for example, with OpenAI to translate or rewrite the text.

Closed Caption:

micro recorder can capture text on your
screen regardless whether it's written
on the web page or as a button label or
within a bit map to add a text capture
action click on image
OCR and select capture text from
screen first of all you have to define
the desired language to get the best
matching results by the way in the
documentation you find information how
to add additional languages
these are the languages
included then you may want to restrict
the search area to optimize performance
and to exclude text you do not want to
recognize so you can restrict the search
area to the focused
window to an area of the desktop or an
area of the Focus window in this example
we choose area of desktop and then with
a Define button we Define the area so
move the mouse to the region click and
hold and open a rectangle to Define the
area then release a mouse button okay in
the dialogue you will find a light bulb
if you click it you see a preview of the
capture area in this example with a
black on white text you don't need to
optimize a contrast and sharpness but if
you try to search text from a bitmap you
may want to use this option to optimize
detection performance if the text is
found you can Define into which variable
you want to store the information this
can be any variable name then you have a
fallback option if micro recorder fails
to detect any text so you can wait for
the text and then proceed to any action
of your choice identified by its label
you can start over jump to the end of
the script or just proceed with the next
section or you enter any custom label
you have defined in your
script now let's test the
detection micro recoder shows the text
found perfect this looks good now let's
try a real example what you can do with
this extracted
text let's go to missas and then open AI
so you can use the capture text to
process it with open
AI as an input you don't want static
text but the variable we just created so
right click and select the variable
found text then provide open AI with an
instruction for
example and then you need to save the
result into the
variable okay and then we can output the
result with a message box
right click variables and the phone text
in
French let's try this
out there you go
