    I think Marc guessed absolutely right. That is my guess too. OCR is the way to go. One more such utility is known as Babylon[^] in which you could customize the sensitivity of the OCR. But it is not a freebie and runs really slow.

      that's selectable text. try it on the text in one of the banner ads or the CP logo - it doesn't work.

      the word "Selected" in the "Quote Selected Text" button

      so, that adds "any window that responds to GetWindowText"

      And I know it works with our text, which really is written exclusively with TextOutA to an off-screen bitmap and then blitted. Our default font is TrueType, but non-standard as well.

      and i know it doesn't work with text i'm drawing to DCs. are you sure your windows don't respond to GetWindowText ?

        The free version has a limitation that it cannot be used by those that take more then four flights per year and do not own an SUV. Hard to imagine people are so wrapped up in the global warming garbage.. They can keep their software! X|

            according to this:

            The application needs the word(s) to be in selectable text format, not in pictures, as WordWeb lacks any OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities like Babylon.

            i tried it, and couldn't get it to recognize anything that wasn't 'selectable' text. it doesn't pick up text that i've drawn with TextOut. Update: now that i've played around a bit, i can get it to recognize non selectable stuff, too. looks like that description is out of date. there's definitely some OCR going on there. sadly, it doesn't work on the CAPTCHAs i've tried :) -- modified at 14:34 Friday 13th April, 2007

            That's weird that they claim that it lacks any OCR! Because I just tried hand-scribbling some text in Paint, and it came very close to guessing the word (eg I scribbled phone and it got hone). I tried using actual text in Paint, then skewing it a few degrees, and it was still able to read it. So it certainly seems to be doing quite good OCR. Maybe that quoted article is out of date.

                Yep I laugh about it. But, I don't qualify for the free license. I take on average about one flight a month...hehe. I defy them to travel to California from Texas that many times a year by some other means of transportation.

                            broadly speaking so are other tofu licenses like the GPL. Assuming you're smart enough to strip the copyright headers from the source files, there's almost no chance of your being caught if you stole nonUI code for your commercial, closed source application.
