dpScreenOCR

dpScreenOCR is a program that can extract text from any part of the screen. It eliminates the need for manual retyping when working with scanned documents, screenshots, videos, user interface elements, and other situations where it is impossible to copy text in the usual way.

Features:

• Supports 100+ languages. English is included by default; others can be installed via the built-in manager.
• Easy to use. Press a global hotkey to select an area on the screen and send the recognized text to the clipboard.
• Works offline. Recognition is performed locally on your device. Internet is only required to download additional languages.
• Free and open source. Powered by Tesseract.
