Visual Screen Scraping
Screen Scraping
Do you need to screen scrape data into your database, spreadsheet or any other application? In just minutes, you can use SeeShell to OCR data from all kinds of screens, terminals and dialog boxes – automatically and without coding.
Extract Anything
SeeShell's screen scraping solution allows you to visually mark the data that you want to extract ("scrape"). You simply draw pink frame(s) around the data that you need. SeeShell then retrieves the data directly from the desktop with high-quality OCR (Optical Character Recognition). The OCR approach works with everything on your screen: Windows app, terminals, RDP sessions, Citrix, VM Ware, Vbox,.. so everthing that displays data can be screen scrapeds.
This screenshot shows the Extraction wizard inside the SeeShell Editor. Essentially this is a tiny graphical editor that allows you the draw, move and delete green and pink frames.
