Description from store
Do you need to extract text from images, videos or PDF? If yes, then the Copyfish Screenshot Reader is for you. Copyfish turns text within any image captured from your screen into an editable format without retyping – making it easy to reuse in digital documents, emails or reports.
Common reasons to extract text from images are to google it, store it, email it or translate it. Until now, your only option was to retype the text. Copyfish is soooo much faster and more fun.
“Images” come in many forms: photographs, charts, diagrams, screenshots, PDF documents, comics, error messages, memes, Flash – and Youtube movies.
You can verify the results in one glance with the extracted text overlay.
Do you need to switch between OCR languages often? You can define "Quick Switch" buttons for up to three languages on the settings page.
For language learners: There are many translator addons available, but they only work with plain website text. Text inside images, in tricky Javascript/AJAX or, especially, in movie subtitles on Youtube or Youku is unreachable for them. But not for Copyfish. And if you want, Copyfish also translates the text for you. Especially for the subtitle translation use case, Copyfish has a repeat feature. Mark the area of the subtitle once and then use the "Do OCR" button to grab the latest text from the movie screen.
For extension gurus: You might have heard of Project Naptha, a great addon that applies state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms on every image you see while browsing the web. Copyfish solves the same problem, but it takes a different user interface approach. It does not try to alter the website. Instead, it lets you mark the text in the image you want to extract. As a result Copyfish works with every website, even videos and PDF documents.
For developers: Copyfish is published under the GPL open-source license. As OCR software, it uses the free OCR API from https://ocr.space/ .

- (2024-04-15) McMaster: Büyük-küçük harf desteği de getirilmesi gerek. Sadece büyük harfle yazım açık olmamalı. Gayet güzel bir program yorum dikkate alınırsa sevinirim. Bir de yazıları desteklerken bir cümlenin tamamını düzgün sıralamalı.
- (2023-12-23) Matthijs Hilgers: It is a superb and easy to use app. My request for the developers however, would be making this work on Chromebooks. When in tablet mode, without a mouse, I cannot create a rectangle to translate something on screen, rendering the app effectively useless with how I normally use my device.
- (2023-11-07) Joel Joseph: The OCR seems to work but its useless because its not getting copied into clipboard in anyway. command+c, "copy to clipboard" not working.. when i paste i get nothing. im using chrome in macos sonoma 14.0
- (2023-10-18) Thien Thai: Work without require sign up account, free trial, or input credit card.

- (2023-08-11) john msc: It works as intended without problems, and it saves me the time and effort reading novels from other languages. And I recommend it for people who want to learn new language by copy pasting text from the video and translate then enjoy your learning or entertainment journey

- (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.
