Textractor is an open-source x86/x64 text hooker for Windows that extracts text from video games and visual novels by injecting into text outputting functions. It is highly extensible via a plugin/extension system and supports automatic hooking of many game engines.

Use cases

  • extract text from visual novels for translation
  • hook game text output on Windows
  • capture dialogue from Japanese games to feed into a translator
  • read in-game text from games with no accessibility support
  • build custom extensions to process hooked game text

When to choose

  • you play visual novels or games on Windows and want live text extraction
  • you need a highly extensible text hooker with extension support
  • you want automatic hooking of many game engines without manual hook codes

When to avoid

  • you need text extraction on Linux/macOS natively (only Wine is supported)
  • you want a general-purpose screen OCR tool rather than runtime text hooking
  • your target is a 64-bit-only modern engine that resists injection
