About Textractor
Textractor is an open-source text hooker that extracts text from video games and visual novels. It is an x86 and x64 tool for Windows 7 and later, and it is also reported to run under Wine. It is based on ITHVNR and is also known as NextHooker.
The tool can automatically hook many game engines, including some that ITHVNR does not support. Users can also hook text with /H hook codes, and most AGTH codes are supported. It can search automatically for possible hook codes. Its design allows extensions, which receive text before it is displayed. The repository includes an example extension project and an extensions folder. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0. Building it from source requires Qt 5.13 and Visual Studio with CMake support.
