⛔ STOP! READ THIS FIRST! ⛔

You MUST Install AutoHotkey BEFORE This Will Work!


📥 STEP 1: Install AutoHotkey v2

  1. Click that link ☝️
  2. Click the big green "Download" button
  3. Click "Download v2.0" (the TOP one, NOT v1.1!)
  4. Double-click the downloaded file
  5. Click Next → Next → Install → Finish

✅ Done? You should see "Installation Complete"


📥 STEP 2: Install ContentCapture Pro

Find the file called install.bat and double-click it!

  • If Windows says "Windows protected your PC" → Click "More info" → Click "Run anyway"
  • Click "Yes" when it asks questions
  • When it's done, look for a green "H" icon near your clock (bottom-right corner of screen)

💡 Having problems? Try right-clicking install.bat and selecting "Run as administrator"

🎉 That's it! You're ready to save recipes!


🍳 STEP 3: Save Something!

  1. Open your web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox)
  2. Go to a recipe website
  3. Highlight the text you want to save (click and drag your mouse over it)
  4. Press Ctrl + Alt + G at the same time
    • Hold Ctrl (corner of keyboard)
    • Hold Alt (next to spacebar)
    • Tap the letter G
  5. Type a short name like soup1 (no spaces!)
  6. Click Save

🔮 STEP 4: Get It Back!

Want your recipe back? Easy!

  1. Click where you want to type (Word, email, anywhere)
  2. Type: soup1 then press Space
  3. ✨ Your recipe appears! ✨

"Nothing happens when I press Ctrl+Alt+G"

  1. Look for a green "H" near your clock (might need to click the little ^ arrow to see hidden icons)
  2. No green H? Double-click ContentCapture.ahk to start the program
  3. Still nothing? You probably need to install AutoHotkey - go back to STEP 1!

"I see an error about v2"

You installed the wrong version! Go to autohotkey.com/download and make sure you download v2.0 (the top option), NOT v1.1

"Windows blocked the program"

This is normal! Click "More info" then "Run anyway" - the program is safe!

"Where are my recipes saved?"

In a file called captures.dat - DON'T DELETE THIS FILE! It has all your saves!
