Launch options. Screenshot reader

Options for launching a shortcut screenshot reader immediately to select text (by skipping pressing R or Alt + anter or button by mouse) 

For the best- i wanna call screenshot reader just like win+shift+s in windows 10.

    Hello!

    Thank you for your suggestion! We'll consider possibilities for its implementation.

    Best regards,

    Perhaps I was wrong with the section. I wanted to know about ways to do this now, for example with a shortcut and an intended launch, something like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ABBYY FineReader 15\ScreenshotReader.exe" /capture

    Unofrtunately, there's no such possibility. The only hotkeys available in Screenshot Reader are Ctrl+R for Text to Clipboard and Ctrl+I for Image to Clipboard, and they work only when the Screenshot Reader window is active.

    ABBYY FineReader is number 1 with accuracy but until this essential feature is developed, TextGrab remains more efficient to capture with just a keystroke.

    Hello,

    Sorry to say, but we currently don't have any ETA for this feature.

    Hi there,

    Good news, i've just developed the following .ahk script that allows to run the screenshot-OCRing to run immediately after you press Shift+Control+K:

    ; Summary: This script runs ABBYY Screenshot Reader 11 using Shift + Ctrl + K and presses 'Enter' after opening.
    ; Version: 1.3
    ; Author: idr.net
     
    #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0  ; Ensures the script runs with AutoHotkey v2
     
    ^+k::
    {
        Run "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ABBYY Screenshot Reader 11\ABBYY Screenshot Reader 11.lnk"
        Sleep 1000  ; Wait 1 second to allow the program to open
        Send "{Enter}"  ; Simulate pressing the 'Enter' key
    }

    --

    You just need to open a notepad.txt file, save it for example as ABBYY Screenshot Reader 11.ahk, paste the above code inside, run it manually or at windows startup, and while running you'll be able to use the proposed screenshot or any other that you assign.
