Capture2Text enables language learners to do the following:

■ Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - Allows the user to quickly snapshot a small portion of the screen, OCR it and (by default) save the result to the clipboard.
■ Speech Recognition - Using speech recognition the user can speak into their microphone and Capture2Text will convert the speech to text. If the speech recognition technology is not 100% sure, Capture2Text will present the user with a list of the most likely transcriptions. The selected result will (by default) be copied to the clipboard.

I downloaded the application and all I could see is a couple AHK (AutoHotKey) files and a .c (C) source code file.

I got really excited that someone had pushed the boundaries with AutoIt :mrgreen:

but it appears to be a wrapper for a couple of utilities, one of which is the very famous >> http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/

Yup, you are correct. http://sourceforge.net/projects/capture2text/ mentions AutoIt for programming language. I did not bother to check the SourceCode folder. Feels kinda stupid now :oops:

. Well, we know at least what gets guinness excited

You've found my Kryptonite.

I don't blame you, just can't understand how the developer could get both languages mixed up like that, the syntax isn't even the same.

After summary testing, English results turned out abysmal... :cry:
