Is there a screenshot reader similar to ABBYY Screenshot Reader (you are just selecting area on the screen and getting text into the buffer, something like that)?

    Could you clarify the question ? Yo are looking for utility that will combine taking screenshots and then doing some sort of OCR so you can get editable text ?

  • Get yourself some OCR software and set up folder actions to run screenshots thru the OCR after you take them.

how about using FreeOCR? It works for PDF files, TIFF images and can turn image to word file.

    oh, sorry, you may search Prizmo, it works on Mac, but it's not for free.
