USER'S GUIDE
Translate Clipboard (IRISPen Translator)
Enables the clipboard translation mode.
When clipboard translation is enabled, the user is prompted to translate all text
copied to the Windows clipboard. The translation window displays the button
"Translate Clipboard?" as soon as text is copied to the clipboard. (Graphics cop-
ied to the clipboard are simply ignored.) The user clicks this button to generate a
translation for the contents of the clipboard.
The capability to translate any text sent to the clipboard has far-reaching im-
plications. It allows the user to translate any text he highlights on his screen and
copies to the clipboard: text entered on the keyboard, wordprocessor files, mail
messages received in a foreign language, Internet pages displayed with a web
browser etc.
The user can also send the scanned text directly to the clipboard - the recog-
nized text will not be inserted in the active application - by selecting the clipboard
as output target with the setting "Output Target" in the IRISPen Translator appli-
cation window. The text to be translated is scanned, but the source text is not
retrieved as only its translation is considered relevant.
Related Command

indicates the source language, the setting "Translate to" in the application window
