Let's say you want to extract texts from the visual novel for the purpose of
looking up the word in the dictionary, or feeding them into a machine
translator. How would one go about accomplishing this?

How do you extract texts into a text format that you can copy and paste from visual novels?


There are some software, such as [Anime Games Text
Hooker](https://sites.google.com/site/agthook/) or [Interactive Text
Hooker](http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/208860-Interactive-Text-
Hooker-new-text-extraction-tool), that are especially made for this purpose.
Some people use them together with automated translation tools.
