## Compiling
2021-11-07 06:18:42 -07:00
Before compiling Textractor, you need Qt version 5.13 and Visual Studio with CMake support.
Clone Textractor's source and initialize submodules with `git clone https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor.git` and `git submodule update --init` .
You should then be able to just open the source folder in Visual Studio and build.

## Project Architecture
2021-11-13 13:38:32 -07:00
The host injects texthook into the target process and connects to it via 2 pipe files.
2019-03-13 11:54:19 -04:00
texthook waits for the pipe to be connected, then injects a few instructions into any text outputting functions (e.g. TextOut, GetGlyphOutline) that cause their input to be sent through the pipe.< br >
2019-05-27 14:16:29 -04:00
Additional information about hooks is exchanged via shared memory.< br >
2018-11-04 01:41:39 -04:00
The text that the host receives through the pipe is then processed a little before being dispatched back to the GUI.< br >
Finally, the GUI dispatches the text to extensions before displaying it.
