>How to Perform a Standard OCR Capture
>Follow these steps to perform a standard OCR capture using the
>capture box:
> 1. Position your mouse pointer at the top-left corner of the text
> that you want to OCR.
> 2. Press the OCR hotkey (Windows Key + Q) to begin an OCR capture.
> 3. Move your mouse to resize the blue capture box over the text that
> you want to OCR. You may hold down the right mouse button and
> drag to move the entire capture box.
> 4. Press the OCR hotkey again (or left-click or press ENTER) to
> complete the OCR capture. The OCR'd text will be placed in the
> clipboard and a popup showing the captured text will appear (the
> popup may be disabled in the settings).

>you would like to OCR from the settings.

>access keys: Windows Key + 1, Windows Key + 2, and Windows Key + 3.
>The quick access languages may be specified in the settings.
>When Chinese or Japanese is selected, you should specify the text
>direction (vertical/horizontal/auto) using the text direction hotkey:
>Windows Key + O. If auto is selected, horizontal will be used when
>the capture width is more than twice the height, otherwise vertical
>will be used. The text direction also affects how furigana is
>stripped from Japanese text.
>(For Japanese) Capture2Text will attempt to automatically strip out
>furigana.

> result to the clipboard.

> result to the clipboard.

>book speech/thought bubble as long as the bubble is completely
>enclosed.
