Screenworm at Mac App Store analyse

Who or what is screenworm?

Screenworm is a subtle but powerful Mac OSX statusbar-application that will assist you wherever Text is involved. It can drastically improve your workflow by combining three popular computer functions in a simple, compelling tool: Screen capturing, optical character recognition and translation. Texts that previously seemed inaccessible or incomprehensible become understandable, editable and therefore valuable to your demands.


Key features:

- Screen Capturing

- Text Recognition (with OCR-language management)

- Quick Access to common Online-Translation Services

- OSX-Speech Synthesis integration

- OSX-Virtual Keyboards integration

- OSX-Sharing Services integration (share texts and images with friends at facebook, twitter etc.)

- Customizable Hotkeys


Limitations:

- the quality of the text recognition, depends on several factors,like the chosen ocr-language, the font and the visual distinctness of the source text.

- screenworm does not translate any text by itself, instead it provides quick access to common online translation services. Thus it cannot guarantee for the quality or the permanent accessibility of those services.

- screenworm utilizes the capabilities of your operating system, which means that the availability and the extent of some features depend on the version of your operating system. The sharing feature requires at least version 10.8 (aka. Mountain Lion).

- in general screenworm requires at least OSX 10.6 (aka. Snow Leopard)
