Copy, paste and translate text from any image, video or PDF.

Image from store Copyfish 🐟 Free OCR Software

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/ . QUESTIONS? SUGGESTIONS? Please email [email protected]

(2021-04-20) Soumya Kanti Paul: Just now received a notification from the browser that Copyfish has been disabled, and it needs the permission to "read my copy paste data" to be re-enabled. Why do you need to read my data? Edit: Thanks for the clarification

(2021-04-02) Godson Programmer: awesome
(2021-03-29) Yujie Fan: 很好，奈斯
(2021-02-28) Белый Камушек: Замечательное расширение. Прекрасно распознает четкие символы, знает кучу языков. Очень помогло мне с китайским, база иероглифов большая. Спасибо! P.S. Последнее обновление напугало меня, пришлось несколько раз переустановить расширение, чтобы работало. А то был какой-то глюк и при нажатии на значок расширения требовали скачать какую-то прогу. Хорошо, что я не отчаялась.

(2021-02-02) Yuan Fang: 首先在官网演示视频里面夹带私货，伤害中华民族的民族感情，这是绝对无法原谅的。其次，你的识别准确率低的吓人，还不如隔壁QQF7自带的OCR，那么请问我为什么要下载这样一个废物软件呢？一星滚出。
(2021-01-31) Hong Quan: A bit difficult to use
(2021-01-30) Onno Rouast: I like the UI. But the OCR is broken for chinese (both simplified and traditional) clear HTML text is only partly recongnised, very clear black on white image data has no or unusable result. Also, why do I have to select a language? I just want all unicode characters.
(2021-01-16) Sebastian Flores: Traduce demasiado mal, el inglés a español. Ejemplo de lo que había traducido. "is father still alive?! i'm scared...!" COMO COPYFISH LO TRADUJO: "rs ¡¿PADRE AÚN VIVO ?! SOY CICATRIZ "...!" COMO ES SEGÚN GOOGLE TRANSLATE Y LO QUE SÉ: ¿El padre sigue vivo? estoy asustado...!
(2021-01-13) Arnar Barri Símonarson: Very cool extension. One problem is that it doesn't seem to be able to grab text from PowerShell images.
(2021-01-12) Cláudia Marques: its useless now. It was such great too...

(2020-08-29) 미오셀리언: 결과를 한국어로 하고 영어를 캡쳐했는데 한국에결과라고 나오면서 실제로는 영어 그대로 나옵니다. 즉 번역이 안된다는 말입니다.
(2020-08-26) MK 2109: Really bad detection. For invoices, with tables, if OCR worked, you'd have to capture each column separately, then copy/paste onto your spreadsheet.
(2020-08-01) 정성욱: 좋다.
(2020-07-22) LIJIAN QU: It cannot be used now. Always "Unable to capture screen. Please try again when the page has loaded"

(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

(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

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.

(2019-10-22, v:4.0.2) 裴zl: bug: Word order is wrong after traditional Chinese OCR
For traditional Chinese，we usually write it vertically，according to the order of top to bottom and left to right. Copyfish is great that could recognize every word correctly but the word order is confusion.

Hi Copyfish team, I installed the chrome extension but can't get the Czech language to work. The "loading" indicator just rotates indefinitely and nothing happens. English (and few other languages) work just fine. When trying the ocr.space service, it also works fine with Czech. Can you please have a look at it? Thank you!
