Set Up Your Capture > Capture Modes > Text Capture

Text Capture

Text Mode is a feature that brings an easier solution to Edit > Copy/Paste or for anyone who has found themselves writing down text from the screen or a dialog box. Text captures are created from only the text on the screen, and does not include any graphics on the screen.

While most computer programs can make copies of text and paste it, SnagIt adds the following important features you do not get with copy and paste:

Capture text from screens that do not allow copy and paste in Windows.
Choose to keep the approximate vertical and horizontal placement of text or have SnagIt collapse these spaces.
Use SnagIt's Auto Scroll so that scrolling and highlighting long screens or blocks of text is unnecessary.
Send output to a variety of destinations such as the Office Clipboard, a printer, the Capture Preview window, or a file with flexible naming and saving options.
Annotate and timestamp the captured text.
Collect captured text in one file to keep a running log of captured passages. This can be used for clipping notes from a Web browser or e-mail, or to capture a series of error messages from a program to send to technical support.

Text files are saved in ASCII format with a .txt filename extension. Most computer programs (word processors, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, or graphics programs) can import and operate with ASCII text.

There are two ways to use SnagIt text capture: from screen images or from the clipboard.

Capture Text from Screen Images

Capture text on the screen in the same way that you use SnagIt to capture image files from the screen. Rather than capturing an image, you capture plain ASCII text.

When capturing text from screen images, SnagIt "reads the screen" for you. Some programs and "Rich Text" windows cannot be captured from a screen image, but can probably be captured by using text from the clipboard. See Capturing Whatever is on the Clipboard for more information.

Capture Text from the Clipboard

In capturing text from the clipboard, SnagIt works as a Windows Clipboard enhancement tool. SnagIt can boost productivity by automatically capturing text from the Windows Clipboard and sending it to the configured SnagIt text Output. Your text captures can be annotated and text can be appended to files.

With the Clipboard Chain option, you can automatically capture and output text copied to the Clipboard (without pressing a hotkey).See Clipboard Chain for more information.
