clipboard reader -> looking for a text editor ;)

[kouik]

Hi mike,

I bought the full fledged pleco, and I'm in love with it.

Anyway, There is something annoying in my workflow, that is maybe due to my fault.

When using the OCR, I send sentences to the clipboard, to see their content.

ANyway, often, depending on what I look, I have parasite chars, that I don't want at all, usually at the start or the end of the sentence (due to bad quality pictures, this is not a pleco issue for sure).

THe main issue, is that when I want to read the sentence (or translate it, flashcards, etc), I have those wrong chars, that I would like to remove, and it's not possible from the clip reader. Would it be possible to edit a sentence from it ?

Kind Regards.

Xavier

Not possible at the moment, I'm afraid - you can edit them when you go to make a custom flashcard, but not currently in the clipboard reader screen itself. (We do plan to address this in a future update though)

anyway, that's why I bought this product, even if I'm at the start of my journey with Chinese, because you answer, take care, and do have plans for future.

Thanks a lot for the answer by the way, I'll deal with it.

I really like ClipStack and Inputting+. Together you can use them as an intermediary to edit anything on the clipboard, and keep a history of your copies and pastes.

Their developer lives in China, and as demonstrated on his github, they handle characters perfectly: https://github.com/heruoxin/Clip-Stack

Thanks paradox, it fully does the job, in a very neat way.
