Comparing selections and the clipboard

Compare Selections

Task menu ▸ Compare Selections

Puts two selected passages side by side. The classic case: somebody in a mail chain sends a revised version of a paragraph and you want to know what changed.

You select the two passages one after the other; after the first, the add-in confirms it has been captured and asks for the second.

If the two passages are identical, the add-in says so rather than showing an empty comparison.

Clipboard to Text

Task menu ▸ Clipboard to Text

Takes whatever is in the clipboard and turns it into text in your email. Explicitly not just text: screenshots, video and audio as well.

The usual case: somebody sends a screenshot of an error message and you need the wording so you can forward it or search for it.

Requirement: the model has to support it

Not every model handles images or audio. If yours does not, the add-in says: "Your model (…) is not configured to process clipboard data (binary/object)."

That is not a malfunction but a matter of configuration – your administrator decides which model is used.

What to check

Text taken from an image is recognised text. Figures, reference numbers and error codes are exactly where recognition goes wrong – and usually exactly what matters. Compare them against the image before passing them on.

If there is nothing usable in the clipboard, the add-in tells you.
