No, you saw that right.
This tip was from you and so good that it easily made it into my collection/summary.

I collect good tips/information and also make them available to other users
- usually with a reference to the source - (see the first two lines under point 12. in the linked topic).

As already mentioned elsewhere, I don't just want to benefit from forum posts.

Textify v1.9 (May 20, 2022)
Download

Michael (Ramen Software) says: May 20, 2022 at 9:09 pm
To use the new options, add the following to the configuration file and set the values per your preference:

Code: Select all

[web_buttons]
icon_size=16
buttons_per_row=8

Hint:
Even without the entry: buttons_per_row=8 (=default) in Textify v1.9
the button line is wrapped each after the 8th button.

Example:
I currently have 11 web buttons and would like them to be displayed in one line.
To do this, it is necessary to make this entry [option: BEFORE the section [web_button_1]] in the file "Textify.ini":

Code: Select all

[web_buttons]
buttons_per_row=11

Textify.ini up to and including v1.9

Code: Select all

; After editing this configuration file,
; Textify must be restarted to apply the changes.

; Mouse and keyboard key numbers can be found here:
; https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes

; Web buttons can be used with the keyboard shortcuts: Alt+1, Alt+2, etc.
; More web buttons can be added, and existing buttons can be removed.
; If desired, all of the web buttons can be removed.
;
; A command can be a URL or a program. It can contain the following:
; %s - will be replaced by the selected text, URL encoded.
; %cs - will be replaced by the selected text, with quote characters stripped.
; %rs - will be replaced by the selected text as is (use carefully).
;
; A command can start with popup-web!, followed by a URL.
; In this case, the page will be opened in a browser popup (browser auto-detected).

OT

Through an announcement in the Textify forum, I became aware of the tool "Text Grab".
Since then I have been using both tools, because with "Text Grab" I can also access texts via Optical Character Recognition (OCR),
which cannot be extracted with the "Textify" tool.

Text Extractor ermöglicht es Ihnen, Text von überall auf ihrem Bildschirm zu kopieren,
einschließlich innerhalb von Bildern oder Videos.
---
Text Extractor allows you to copy text from anywhere on your screen,
including within images or videos.

This code is based on the feature „Text Grab“ by Joe Finney.
Current version: Text Grab 3.3 (19.3.2023) - download available on GitHub.

Further links:
- Text Grab - Store app
- Manage the input and display language settings in Windows 11, 10

Settings - Option:
☐ Show Toast when text is copied. Opens window to display and edit text.
-> UNCHECK so that NO notification is made. <-

No further announcement will be made on this tool.

Text Grab is part of PowerToys under the name "Text Extractor".

Capture2Text
Easy Screen OCR
Desktop Text Capture
QTranslate
OneNote

I can list a few more paid ones, if necessary.

[Horst.Epp]

As I have PowerToys already installed for other functions
its fine to get screen OCR without the need for addional tools.

PowerToys can not be extolled above the last two programs from my list. Therefore, it's at least strange to talk about the need. It's just a matter of choice. QTranslate, for example, doesn't have an equivalent alternative, but it does have the required function.

As you said its a matter of choice.
I don't see whats wrong with my post ?
I didn't praise PowerToys or compared it with any other tool.
