  • ShareX

    ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key. It also allows uploading images, text or other types of files to many supported destinations you can choose from.

    • When I get some time, I'll try to add as an output destination for ShareX, the awesome open source screen and video capture app for Windows.

  • Text-Grab

    Use OCR in Windows quickly and easily with Text Grab. With optional background process and notifications.

    • This OCR app called Text Grab uses it. It's a nice little app.
