• (2023-10-14) Josue Bonilla: Its a very good app but it never works on pdf documents. Fix this issue and it would be 5 stars.

• (2023-07-10) McMaster: Büyük-küçük harf desteği de getirilmesi. Sadece büyük harfle yazım açık olmamalı. Gayet güzel bir program yorum dikkate alınırsa sevinirim.

• (2023-06-23) Pablo Chavez: Great app, especially useful with desktop version. My only complaint is that I wish there was a way I can disable it from opening new tabs
• (2023-06-23) ᄀᄀᄀ: Good but really need to remove Newline characters. it's so annoying when you try to translate.

• (2023-06-02) Cem Tari: eklentilerde bundan hızlısını göremedim, ben beğendim 5 yıldız verdim , emeği geçenlere teşekkür ederim.
• (2023-05-31) Danny Flood: Unfortunately like every other extension I have tried it doesn't work. When you use the app or try to right-click on an image and use the app, it always gives an error message: "If this message does not disappear, try reloading the page. Or use the desktop screenshot feature." Reloading the page doesn't do anything and there's no workaround.

• (2023-02-05) J: The first conversion never seems to work for me. I have to switch languages for the conversion to work, so I pick a random language at first to convert to, do the conversion, then pick a different language and it works. Using microsoft edge dev.

• (2023-02-28, v:6.0.9) Nathan Burgard: Copy w/o line breaks
  The extension works great. I was wondering if there is any way to add an option to copy w/o any line breaks. Often text from images will have multiple lines simply because the image is limited in size, OCR reads this as multiple lines and adds the appropriate line breaks. It would be very useful if there was an option next to the standard copy to clipboard option that lets you copy the text with no linebreaks at all, just as a continuous block of text. This would also make it quicker to add our own formatting since you don't first have to remove the prior line breaks and paragraphs

• (2021-09-01, v:5.1.9) Surf T. Newt: Limited Support in Chrome OS
  Can't use on local files with chromebooks. A security limitation? Pop-ups suggesting fixes, lead me down a rabbit hole. No programming detection for Chrome OS or android? Help page put me through circular links for a great chasing-my-tail routine, but I'm used to it by now as are all the countless students using chromebooks. Great OCR tool, otherwise!
• (2021-07-17, v:5.1.9) Marta Lytvynenko: settings reset and desktop capture doesn't work
  Hi, I have two problems lately. 1. Input language settings reset to English every time so I can use set language only once, next time it's English again, even if it's just 5 minutes later. 2. Desktop capture feature doesn't work, says I need Shutter program. But both statuses I see in the settings are "enabled", and nothing about that Shutter. I've found that it's for Linux, but I have Win7.

• (2021-05-14, v:5.1.9) Cjcoen: japanese translation
  i used this for helping translate manga annd similar stuff, but now it reads japanese text from right to left instead of left to right, up and down. it used to do this before and i cant get any of the previous versions to work like how it used to either. can i get some help on this?
• (2021-05-14, v:5.1.9) Dylandidi10: Texte

• (2021-03-29, v:5.1.1) Shi Wu: Captures nearly nothing right, most of the time the capture is fully blank, the frame scrolls too much
  The extension is totally unusable, please fix it. Four main problems: (Speaking for Simplified Chinese mainly) 1. It always resets the settings back to default, meaning that it will reject to capture what you told it to, and no way to change it back except changing it manually in the options every 2 minutes 2. It usually returns fully blank, or has 1 or 2 characters correct, but usually Chinese recognition fails 3. Scrolling with mouse wheel ruins your day while watching video 4. The capture menu is gigantic and cover all over your page, meaning that you have to stop everything to use the extension, and then close it to return to your work/video Please fix it, because an OCR would really be great

• (2021-02-15, v:5.0.7) Joel Mahon: Touch Screen Support
  Hi there, fantastic extension. Are there any plans for touch screen support? It appears that it doesn't start a capture rectangle in capture mode on "finger down", and instead the browser swallows it and you drag the page about instead. Only a small issue, can whip out a keyboard or use the virtual mouse, but it's usually 5x slower at least so it would be a lovely feature to have.
• (2021-01-30, v:5.0.6) Rhodan81: Get Text from Image
