Screen OCR expands the powers of your PC's built-in copy command. It can copy text from many locations that are inaccessible to the Windows Clipboard, including dialogboxes and protected Web pages. All settings are available via the system-tray icon, which lets you select a color for highlighted text and choose how you want the text-selection tool to behave. For example, you can make it act just like the function built into Windows, or you can have it copy items in a rectangular box. Additionally, it can copy graphics or certain areas of your screen and display statistics, such as word count and font style once you've highlighted text. It recognizes any text visible in any place of the screen. All you have to do is to choose the proper selection mode, select the data, and copy it to the Clipboard.
