- (2025-06-30) Juan Hernandez: Works as intended right out of the gate. Install, select an area (or upload), and get your text.
- (2025-06-19) peter quitzgard: Hello, I'd already tested about 10 similar extensions so far, and this is not only accurate, but it is one of the fastest. Great job! Some further upgrades I think would make it even better: 1- Auto close the result's window after an optional amount of time. 2- I know one can simply define a keyboard shortcut, but since I'm already used to start capturing with a mouse's click, it would be great if there was an option to bypass the predetermined window which shows up when clicking the extension's icon, to directly start capturing from the screen. 3- I didn't see this feature in none of the extensions I tried so far: add a zooming tool next to the crosshair, which aids to do captures with more precision. Thanks.
- (2025-05-30) Emanuel Sande: OCR Works very well. I like the local processing concept, I was using another OCR extension which sends data to cloud for OCR, but i dont want that approach. Finally Found something that works local.
