TRex VS Textractor

Just three hours ago I switched back to Linux after a few years on MacOS. The only thing missing was the amazing text copy tool I was using, "Rex" [1]. What a coincidence to see this post on the front page a few hours later!

Side note, what a breath of fresh air Gnome on Fedora is!

So I know there's things like PurePaste (which I use), and TRex (auto-ocr screenshotted area, it's fantastic). But those work best for short shorter snippets.

Although if you don't need the screenshot functionality, Trex does OCR and is only about 3MB.

To get this functionality everywhere, I’ve taken using the TRex app: https://github.com/amebalabs/TRex

I have it mapped to ctrl-alt-command-C. As more and more apps and webpages make text unselectable, it’s become invaluable. My favorite trick is to copy the URL when someone is screen sharing their browser in a virtual meeting!

I just found a very nice app that you guys might like: https://github.com/amebalabs/TRex

I'm currently trying to compile this texthooker for my games https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor

If you're trying to look up words as you're playing/reading through a game, use textrextractor: https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor

I believe that in theory it is possible to set up Textractor to pull in text from PCSX2 and machine translate it. I messed around with it a while back, specifically to try it with Z1, and I think I was able to sort of make it work, but it was a huge pain and you needed to redo the whole setup every time you start up the game. I don't really remember the details though... I can't even guarantee it was Textractor I used.

Dude, knock it off and stop being a leetist. If someone can't or does not want to learn then just drop it. Textractor is a good one with Deepl. https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor/releases

Or just grab textractor (https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor) and hook it into your emulator directly. But it takes a little more know-how to set it up (and not all emus support it).

Use Textractor to extract Japanese text from the game so you can look up what certain words/phrases mean.

Steam - lots of games in Japanese, including Visual Novels. Textractor - tool for extracting text from Visual Novels and copying them to clipboard. Combined with Clipboard Inserter, texthooker.html, and 10ten, it makes reading Visual Novels a breeze. ShareX - OCR tool, handy for games and manga. I use it similarly to Textractor, combined with Clipboard Inserter, texthooker.html, and 10ten.

To install Textractor go here and download the "Textractor-5.2.0-Setup.exe" file you should be able to install it just like any other program Here is another video if you are have trouble setting it up
