• (2022-08-09) •{Karaline}•: exactly what i needed
• (2022-08-03) Sakib Kibria: ONE OF MY MOST FAVOURATE EXTENSIONS AND CARZY ENOUGH IT WORKS AND ITS FREE.
• (2022-08-02) Ashish Kumar Burnwal: Great tool and easy to use. This give very accurate OCR feature. Its desktop OCR feature is out of the box.
• (2022-07-28) Чистый Джо: Очень крутое расширение. Потенциально экономит гору времени, избавляет от лишних действий, бытовухи при парсинге малоинтересной информации. Но реализация... УГ Горячие клавиши работают в одном из восьми случаев (конечно же тот один - нужный, остальные проверка "ачожниработаем"), навязчивые предожения десктопного аддона (эка невидаль). Раздражает смещение фокуса внимания. Зачем скроллить страницу вниз и не разрешать клик по ней? Все очень круто и так же тухло, что выражается в мелочах. Нервным как я печатать ручками. add 28.07.2022 12.45 why the hell it doesnt scan 90 degrees rounded images? Во имя Кришны, почему не сканирует повернутые на 90градусов изображения? Что за импотенция, ребят?
• (2022-07-27) Fix Bet: Bangla Not Support, Useless to me
• (2022-07-24) Smosh Kabel: This once very useful app has been getting worse every year. * The Free OCR engine is almost useless. * Half of the time not recognize vertical from horizontal text. * Transcribes vertical text in reverse order. * Even site access is now paywalled, so you have to press the extension button on every page, making shortcuts and mouse gestures useless. Uninstalled!
• (2022-07-23) Vishal Kumar: Thanks for making this helpful extension

• (2022-06-25) Tanya Bondarenko: It doesn't work at all
• (2022-06-24) АРТЕМ AɅЮШИН: It works quickly, unlike others. But, there is a trick that sometimes skips a part of the text, a whole paragraph and writes Copyfish in its place. Быстро работает в отличие от других. Но, есть такой прикол, что иногда пропускает часть текста, целый абзац и на месте него пишет Copyfish.
• (2022-06-16) caballero france louise: When i am copying a different language it kept on spelling it wrong and puts a 9 instead of a g i hate it when that happens

• (2022-04-22) Leny Man: Me ha salvado mil veces!!! Gracias!!
• (2022-04-17) Mustafa Çiğdem: 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
• (2022-04-15) Kim Thu Nguyễn: I can't see close button after use
• (2022-04-15) Roku Karasu: Très utile, mais si le texte est trop petit, il ne le détectera pas. Il en va de même avec les alphabets autres que le latin.
• (2022-04-08) The5armdamput33: Probably the best so far, but I see some issues... When using it on Japanese manga, it has trouble distinguishing certain characters from one another... For example: ぁ(a) and あ (a) This is not too much of an issue, because they have the same pronunciation, but it can sometimes affect how a sentence is read... It's a much bigger problem when it can't distinguish っ(tsu) from つ (tsu) because the former is silent and changes the pronunciation of the character that follows it... ex: つぱ = tsupa, っぱ = ppa... Sometimes it also mistakes ぱ(pa) for は(ha) or ば(ba) which have different pronunciations and change what the word or sentence means... the same for し(shi) and じ(ji) The "ten-ten" (") marks make a difference and sometimes the app misses them... > These are problems I find with all OCR devices, so it's not a particular problem with yours, but I want to leave an honest and complete review... Something that your app does better than any other app I've seen is reading vertical Japanese text... But it does it backwards... This is still somehow better than other similar programs... - Other apps read the first character of each line from left to right, then the second, and so on... > This app reads each line completely (top to bottom), but reads the lines from left to right... Japanese vertical text is read top to bottom, right to left... Vertical text I captured using this app: {サイコーたわ 広々と使えて 人少ないから 深夜の銭湯は} = "It's a great late-night bathhouse because it's spacious and not too many people are there." Should be read like this: { 深夜の銭湯は 人少ないから 広々と使えて サイコーたわ} = "Late-night bathhouses are spacious because there are fewer people, so it's great." But it's better than other apps, which read it like this: {サ広人深 イ々少夜 コとなの 1使い銭 だえか湯 わてらは} = "Sa Hirojin no shinin ai ko to na no 1 usages sen daeka yu watare wa" So it's still much better at reading vertical text than any other app I've used, but addressing these small problems would force me to change my rating to 5 stars...
• (2022-04-08) Emerleigh Lozañes: It actually works! It of course depends on the image and font used, but the wait for the usual Arial font with a visibility of 8-10 font size is not that long (actually quite fast).
• (2022-03-29) Taher Nagati: POWERFUL ONE ! WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!
• (2022-03-26) 1911 daniii: an absolute gamechanger, now i can read webtoons while studying the language. love it!
• (2022-03-21) Chaves: Perfeitamente perfeito
• (2022-03-18) Androidy: very good
• (2022-03-17) Travis Stone: take several seconds to recognize
• (2022-03-09) Alan Paul Alcantar: Excelente extensión, no pide premium como otras y es más sencilla de utilizar, sígan así
• (2022-03-05) ming Moo: Twitterに投稿される英文の画像を翻訳する際に利用したところ、99%の単語を正しく認識しました。 認識時のUIがやや大きい気はしますが、手軽に利用できて精度も高いので満足です。
• (2022-03-03) Fatih Ismail: Worked really good for me, so much better than other extentions that I tried
• (2022-03-01) Егор Кудрин: Работает отлично, жаль нет горячей клавиши для вызова.
• (2022-02-18) mr cool guy: its good enough for me to use, considering im using it for a different language too.

• (2022-08-01, v:6.0.8) Tatiana Sverchkova: It stopped working
  Extension stopped working (google chrome for win 11). It shows a popup with massage: If this message does not disappear, try reloading the page. Or use the desktop screenshot feature.
• (2022-06-28, v:5.1.9) Tanya Williams: Pop up window can no longer be copied.
  Previously I was able to copy from a pop up window when I would open an image without downloading it. How do I add this feature back?

• (2022-01-13, v:5.1.9) Erek: z-index too small for Kindle Cloud Reader
  Noticed when reading a comic via Kindle Cloud Reader that the OCR result appeared underneath the comic. Raising the number is good but also they could probably detect highest z-index to beat.
• (2021-12-17, v:5.1.9) Tzero Ocne: language setting keeps resetting
  I use ocr mainly for Japanese, whenever I set the input language to Japanese it reset the setting when I refresh the tab

  I have a PC and laptop. I've installed the desktop feature on both. I updated my PC to Windows 11 and I keep getting the shutter issue. I did not upgrade my laptop and do not have problems whatsoever. Big fan of this extension, so would love to get it back :)
• (2021-09-09, v:5.1.9) Green Lab Green Lab: Does not recognize the dot (.) in the image.
  It does not recognize the dot (.) in the image. For example take any picture with decimal place (7.13) and you will see that (.) is not recognized.
• (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.
• (2021-07-09, v:5.1.9) B M: Settings often reset and says "OCR Successful" but shows no text
  The settings often reset. I only want to use this to select Japanese text from images, but it constantly resets the language to English. It also often says "OCR successful" but doesn't show any text.
• (2021-06-23, v:5.1.9) 이게뭐냥: This extension is so awesome.
  This extension is so awesome. ... By the way, Even if I press the X button, the program does not end. Only the window size is reduced. ... It seems that you have to double-click the X button to exit. Let it exit with just one click of the X button.
• (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
  Le texte des pages mangas anglais apparaît souvent en majuscule et de haut en bas au lieu de de gauche a droite, ce qui rend la traduction plus difficile et longue, puisqu'il faut a chaque fois réorganiser au clavier le texte.
• (2021-04-21, v:5.1.8) Irev Marie Calawigan: New Update is Giving me Problems
  Since the new update, the enter button doesn't work anymore after I OCR a text.
• (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
• (2021-02-26, v:5.1.0) Danny Blanco: Cordial saludo
  ¿Es posible descargarlo en el escritorio? o en Maxthon.
• (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
  The new feature "Get Text from Image" doesn't always work. It fails if the image source is on another domain that the webpage, because of the CORS policy.

  Does this work on hand written text? I know Google's api supports it, conditionally. If so, you should include that in the extension's detail page. A lot of OCR programs do not support it, so it would be a valuable piece of info to include in the description.
