Translations in languages other than English are machine translated and are not yet accurate. No errors have been fixed yet as of March 21st 2021. Please report translation errors here. Make sure to backup your correction with sources and guide me, as I don't know languages other than English well (I plan on getting a translator eventually) please cite wiktionary and other sources in your report. Failing to do so will result in a rejection of the correction being published.

Note: due to limitations with GitHub's interpretation of markdown (and pretty much every other web-based interpretation of markdown) clicking these links will redirect you to a separate file on a separate page that isn't the intended page. You will be redirected to the .github folder of this project, where the README translations are hosted.

Translations are currently done with Bing translate and DeepL. Support for Google Translate translations is coming to a close due to privacy concerns.

ScreenTeX

ScreenTeX is a tool that grabs all text when taking a screenshot rather than getting an image.

About

See above. Also see below for more info.

Alternative keyboard shortcut

The alternative keyboard shortcut for taking a data screenshot is ALT + P + F10 (or alternatively, if your keyboard requires the function key for F keys, FUNCTION (FN) + ALT + P + F10) this shortcut was superceded by the idea of just pressing F10 (or FUNCTION (FN) + F10) because it would be easier to get multiple screenshots with a single button. The shortcut is staying, but can be turned off. I figured it would be better to get an image and the data at the same time, although you can choose which ones are exported at which time.

Like all other features of this program, you can customize the control of them, and enable/disable each individual option.

Original concept

This is the original concept for this project from 2021 Sunday, September 19th.

2021 September 19th

ScreenTeX is a tool that grabs all text when taking a screenshot rather than getting an image.

Rich text and formatting options will be included.

Exporting as TXT, MD, PY, Java, C, C++, CSV, C#, JavaScript, Kotlin, etc. is allowed.

Add alias: ALT + P + F10 to separate from actual screenshots.

Option to save data in a different format after each screenshot, default is TXT.

Feature requests

Here are some of the new features from 2021 September 20th and onward that are planned to be added to this project.

Alternative screenshot shortcut

An option to save the text and the screenshot is coming soon, and will supercede the ALT + P + F10 shortcut. Users will be able to choose between the ALT + P + F10 shortcut, or the merged functionality with the F10 (Print Screen) key.

The merged functionality with the F10 key (or FN + F10 keys) will allow the export of both an image and a data file at the same time, although you can disable one or the other.

• Requested on 2021 Monday, September 20th

Ability to switch save location

The ability to switch the location where exports are saved is planned for Windows NT, MacOS, Linux, and BSD.

• Requested on 2021 Monday, September 20th

TeX

Despite TeX being in the name, the project is not written in TeX. Exporting text into TeX format is possible though, and is a planned feature. It is currently just done to style the name better.

Troubleshooting

How ScreenTeX works

The project does not use a special algorithm to read the image and export the text, it just copies everything from the background and puts it into a file.

The program is not working

Please avoid all other troubleshooting advice for now, as the program is not functional yet.

Text is not exporting

If this is not possible in some cases due to DRM or other system failures, you will likely just need to stop using that software/website, wait for your computer to become stable again, or fix your computer. In the meantime, you can always get a picture with a separate camera if you have one, although it will be of lower quality and hard to make out (and won't copy the text)

Where is the data being put

On Linux, data is automatically placed in your home directory, located at /// /home/ although you can change it to any location you want (this feature is currently a request)

On Windows NT, data is placed in your documents directory, located at ///C/users/ /Documents/ although you can change it to any location you want, except for system folders, such as system32 and SYSWOW64 (this feature is currently a request)

On MacOS, data is placed in your home directory, located at /// /home/ although you can change it to any location you want (this feature is currently a request)

On BSD, data is placed in your home directory, located at /// /home/ although you can change it to any location you want (this feature is currently a request)

History

This project was started on 2021 Sunday September 19th as a concept project that was thought of the same day as its creation. The other concept from this day was the BootDown project the concept was partially written down in a private repository, but was made public on 2021 Monday September 20th after I created the organization for this project. The project was worked on extensively today, and the concept was further implanted. It still isn't functional yet.

Version history

No other versions listed

Software status

All of my works are free some restrictions. DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) is not present in any of my works.

This sticker is supported by the Free Software Foundation. I never intend to include DRM in my works.

I am ussing the abbreviation "Digital Restrictions Management" instead of the more known "Digital Rights Management" as the common way of addressing it is false, there are no rights with DRM. The spelling "Digital Restrictions Management" is more accurate, and is supported by Richard M. Stallman (RMS) and the Free Software Foundation (FSF)

This section is used to raise awareness for the problems with DRM, and also to protest it. DRM is defective by design and is a major threat to all computer users and software freedom.
