Live Demo: http://projectnaptha.com/

Project Naptha automatically applies state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms on every image you see while browsing the web. The result is a seamless and intuitive experience, where you can highlight as well as copy and paste and even edit and translate the text formerly trapped within an image.

Words on the web exist in two forms: there’s the text of articles, emails, tweets, chats and blogs— which can be copied, searched, translated, edited and selected— and then there’s the text which is shackled to images, found in comics, document scans, photographs, posters, charts, diagrams, screenshots and memes. Interaction with this second type of text has always been a second class experience, the only way to search or copy a sentence from an image would be to do as the ancient monks did, manually transcribing regions of interest.

You can watch as moving your cursor over a block of words changes it into the little I-beam. You can drag over a few lines and watch as a semitransparent blue box highlights the text, helping you keep track of where you are and what you’re reading. Hit Ctrl+C to copy the text, where you can paste it into a search bar, a Word document, an email or a chat window. Right-click and you can erase the words from an image, edit the words, or even translate it into a different language.

Security & Privacy: Project Naptha handles OCR and text detection locally on your computer. When highlighting text, the extension checks a remote server to determine whether a public high quality transcription exists using a cryptographic hash of the URL (this includes no cookies, user tokens, or any identifying information, and the server is incapable of storing access logs). For more information, read the section on security and privacy on http://projectnaptha.com/

cool idea, does 15% of what it supposedly does at 5% accuracy, it more often hallucinates texts where there isnt then recognising text properly, please just rewrite it from scratch. "no OCR servers available" 2022 - 2025 and they still havent found one...

This extension will hijack your browser to redirect your google searches to a third party to be redirected to yahoo.

Its not working.

this is what i can paste when I copied a text from a meme : 'e lalling ma tes& meme8'|| gsales? This text was recognized by the built-in Ocrad engine. A better transcription may be attained by right clicking on the selection and changing the OCR engine to "Tesseract" (under the "Language" menu). This message can be removed in the future by unchecking "OCR Disclaimer" (under the Options menu). More info: http://projectnaptha.com/ocrad

HunzHurte
It's a really cool idea, but as long as the letters aren't in a very specific font or high resolution, it only gets 50% of the letters right, rendering it usseless.

literally never works properly. either doesn't detect text or only detects like 2 characters and not the rest. 1 star.

the bot comments are a disservice.

С русским текстом не работает. По прежнему самый лучший вариант скопировать текст с картинки это закинуть картинку прямо из буфера в Яндекс Переводчик.

L'idée est bonne mais ça ne fonctionne pas. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi elle est noté 4 étoiles?

Не работает, ничего не выделяет вообще не появляется хоть чтото. Будто и не стоит расширение
