Current Situation

GoldenDict did offer a functionality to translate the word under cursor(when scan popup been enabled) on Windows. the technique used there is old and can not work crossplatform .

with the help of another great tool Capture2Text ,GoldenDict can work with ocr seamlessly.

Note

Capture2Text has offered Windows precompiled executable files.I think it would be easier and possible to make it work on Linux as some afforts have tried.

Capture2Text Linux Port
another on nixos from sikmir

Configuration

after installation of both software. configure the Capture2Text ,see screenshot following

configure external `Call Executable` path (Windows for example)

path\GoldenDict.exe ${capture}

configure hotkey

I only left three of them .

configure `First word only`

without this configuration ,it will capture the last word of

Use it

place the cursor on the word (can be on the image ),press Win+W to capture the first word.
