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]

  • (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.
  • (2023-10-14) Josue Bonilla: Its a very good app but it never works on pdf documents. Fix this issue and it would be 5 stars.
  • (2023-10-06) Antonio Jarbas: Muitos erros, se não quiser perder tempo aconselho usar outro.
  • (2023-10-05) robert calin: Great on Brave
  • (2023-10-04) Simon Supersad: doesn't work on the only website i need it for. keep getting the prompt saying "If this message does not disappear, try reloading the page. Or use the desktop screenshot feature."

  • (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
  • (2023-08-10) ember: trash
  • (2023-07-21) Kalash Acharya: Works fine for me as expected.

  • (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) Malik Dilbaz Khan: Worst experience
  • (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.
  • (2023-06-12) Maib Hassin: Does the job. Didn't face any bugs like other people have described. My only issue is that sometimes it is extremely slow.

  • (2023-06-07) ROSA MIRIAN HERNANDEZ GONZALEZ: esta horrible no sirve para copiar texto de un video
  • (2023-06-07) peace: works fine & easy to use but could be better on UI design as it makes the process not efficient.
  • (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.

  • (2023-02-28, 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

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.

  • (2021-03-29, 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.
