WindowTextExtractor allows you to get a text from any window of an operating system including microsoft office programs, console windows and any window with support of Microsoft UI Automation (UIA). It can recover password stored behind asterisks (*****) from most of the windows apps.

Requirements
OS Windows XP SP3 and later. Supports x86 and x64 systems.
.NET Framework 4.0

How to Use
Launch WindowTextExtractor on your system.
Now simply drag the 'Find window' button to get a window text or password.

Limitations
This tool can't work properly with non-windows based applications such as GTK, Flash, QT or applications not using standard edit box for the password. It does not work with HTML pages in the browsers such as IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.

Thanks for the update, AlexanderPro. 8)

And please don't assume the lack of feedback means lack of interest in your software -- things tend to move slowly in our little community.
