Defining and Monitoring the activation sequence

Your application usually lets a user choose among different activation sequences available. Users can point to words or sentences:

Using a combination of keys and mouse

Specify a word by holding a user defined system key pressed while clicking the word with the desired mouse button. E.g. While keeping CTRL key pressed right-click any on word on the screen.

Using a mouse gesture

Specify consecutive words by holding the user defined key and mouse button pressed while dragging the mouse over desired words.

Using a hotkey

Specify the word under mouse cursor by pressing the user defined hotkey. A hotkey can be a single key like F11 or any combination like CTRL-SHIFT-C.

A separate hotkey can be defined to get the word containing the caret.

Also a hotkey can be defined to extract the selected text.

Hovering the mouse over a word

Point to a word by merely positioning the mouse cursor over a word and do not move it for a pre-defined period of time.

After your customer selects the needed word(s) using one of the above methods WordCaptureX allows.

Long click

Position the mouse cursor over a word and press the predefined mouse button till the word is captured. It takes 2 seconds to scrape the word.

Text extracting methods

  • Extract the word at a screen location as clear text and feed your application or web site with them.
  • Extract contextual word(s) on the left and right of the specified word. This is particularly useful in case of expressions.
  • Extract the entire paragraph that intersects a screen location.
  • Highlight the extracted words on the screen.
