A computer fitted with the right software components can be used to extract data from almost any kind of content. For instance, OCR stands for reading text out of pictures, which has become a common practice nowadays. In this regard MoreDataFast comes with this method included, and also other means of extracting and saving info.

Note that the application can only run if .NET Framework is installed on your computer, but modern Windows iterations usually come with it as a default feature. On the other hand, the application itself requires no installation, and can be used just as well directly from a thumb drive, without causing any harm to the target PC.

The application comes with quite an impressive variety of methods to extract text, this being its main specialty. There’s the possibility to use the OCR method in order to read text either from a single file, or the content of a whole directory. All results are shown in a table, while selection reveals text which you can edit on the spot, and then copy to clipboard.

You can have a target image file opened in the default viewer, in case you don’t know where a specific line comes from. The application can take a snapshot of the desktop and attempt to read all text inside, displaying it in the same organized manner.

A built-in file watcher can be enabled in case you constantly update a folder with pictures. All extracted lines can be read to you, with an additional component which only reads custom entries. When it comes to saving, the application can generate a plain text file for every line, as well as a PDF document.

In conclusion, MoreDataFast is sure to come in handy as an intuitive, practical method of extracting text from different pictures, or areas of the screen. Although the OCR method might not be completely accurate, high-quality images have a better chance of success.
