You might have already tried to copy the text from some Windows dialog boxes but not got success. For example, Error Message boxes do not let you copy the text on them. Windows do not allow to copy those error codes and error message; however, you can note it down manually, but it can be a painful task if the text is long.
If you want to find out the error solution, you have to copy the text, and then further, you can search in search engines for the best possible results. Since the messages cannot be selected or copied normally, we had earlier used “Textify” to copy unselectable texts.
Gttext is different from others, as it recognizes text character from images and copies it to the Windows clipboard, then you can paste it into any text file or document file. It is straightforward to use because it asks for an image file as soon as we start this application. This free tool supports different image formats like BMG, JPG, Gif, and many others. Once you click on “Copy image text” available on the application toolbar, Gttext automatically identifies the text on the image file and will show up on a small dialog box.
