This works well in many cases, for instance when Windows displays dialogs to you, on system interfaces, browser Chrome and many more including plain text that is displayed in editors or browsers.Įventually you will come across text instances that it is unable to detect and you will either get a "no text could be retried" message or no message at all. You may use the interface it to change the program's trigger, to use one or multiple of the available modifiers (Ctrl, Alt or Shift), and left, right, or middle mouse button.īasically, what you do is hold down the Shift-key and click the middle-mouse button when the mouse cursor is over text that you want to copy, or another key and mouse combination if you have made modifications to the initial preference. Textify displays a basic interface on start that highlights how you use it. You can run it afterwards directly and start using it. Simply download the application from the developer website - it has a size of less than 80 Kilobyte - and extract its contents to a directory of your choosing.

Textify is a portable program for Windows that you can run from any location.

Textify has been designed to provide a solution for these situations. While you may be able to use Ctrl-C anyway to copy text, it is sometimes not possible to do so without OCR software or other means. Basic examples are dialogs, text displayed in program windows that cannot be copied, or certain error messages that programs may throw.
