ScreenAce Text Capture Library 1.0



What is ScreenAce

ScreenAce is a library for capturing text from the screen. ScreenAce allows you to detect, obtain and mark the textual content of applications and documents ("word under the cursor" function) by calling simple API funtions from your code.

ScreenAce is a fast and light-weight solution (no OCR used) that support most up-to-date Windows applications and browsers.

ScreenAce is a mature and reliable technology and serves as the text-capturing library of the VerbAce-Pro award-winning family of dictionaries.

ScreenAce is shipped as an SDK (Software Development Kit), which allows a simple and fast integration into your application.
