Key features

Capture screenshot images

Capture an interesting part of the screen and save it as an image or share with your friends. Just mark certain part of the screen with ABBYY Screenshot Reader and send it as image by e-mail or by messenger or store it on your computer.

Transform screenshot images into text

If you want to grab some text from an image file, Web site, presentation, or PDF you can quickly turn text areas into truly editable text that you can paste directly into an open application, edit or save as Microsoft® Word or Excel® documents.

Insert a screen image in documents

Prepare small – size images for your presentations, reports and other documents. Open the image, create the screenshot, copy it to the clipboard and then insert into the document with CTRL+V keys or “paste” functions.

Extract text and tables

Extract text from brochures and leaflets that are only available as graphics: select a piece of text and it will automatically open as editable information in Microsoft Word. Transform image tables into editable Excel worksheets.

Popular use cases

Print driving directions

You're booking a hotel room or headed to a corporate event, but some of the arrival directions are Flash-only, while the rest were sent in another email. With Screenshot Reader you can easily collect all the necessary information in a Word document, and then print it on a single page.

Send screenshots of error messages to technical support

Do you need to describe problems with your PC? Simply “capture” program error messages or system information and email them to technical support along with explanations of the problem. It's much easier than remembering: “there is a problem with the file .batix./320.dir...”.

Use screenshots when creating instructions and manuals

Screenshot Reader is a useful tool, suitable for the daily work of technical writers or system administrators. Help create illustrations for instructions on using programs, manuals, and guides.

Save lists from a website as an Excel file

Are you studying a foreign language and need to transcribe the terms you learn from a website into an Excel file? Instead of manually cutting and pasting every word, let Screenshot Reader do the work.
