I used to love this extension. But since it started asking for money and chrome sync (which isn't possible on browsers like Brave) it feels just bad. I am not saying that asking money for your service is bad thing but there are a lot of OCR softwares out there any on an average 2000 people use this extension, hardly any money can be collected from this. It was just awesome 6 months ago. No slow recognition, no asking for money, no login require.

I have been trying to use it to read manga online, and while that might not be the intended function, I think it would still help if it was able to read vertical text, because often Japanese and Chinese is written vertically... Instead of reading the text as it is meant to be read, the app reads the first character of each line horizontally, followed by the next character of each line and so on... This makes an incomprehensible mess that is impossible to read... - Using the above paragraph as an example: "Ihm noe srs tis ez aot..." (if read vertically)

e muito chato o limite de usos
Uso essa extensão pra ler historia em quadrinhos e mangás. Funciona muito bem. Eu testei várias extensões do gênero, mas essa definitivamente é a melhor.
They ruined it, it is no longer free (I think it was at the beginning) now you have to pay after using it I don't know how many times per month. I used this to translate manga I follow from English to Spanish.

it's clearly the best extension I've used malheureusement, après quelques semaines, il a cessé de fonctionner a solution please to solve this problem ??
Muy buena extensión, me sirvió a la perfección. Supongo que el error del cual hablan abajo ya se ha solucionado, porque no he tenido problemas en cuanto a la traducción.
La extensión funcionaba muy bien, pero en las ultimas 2-3 semanas dejo de funcionar y ni reinstalándola volvió a trabajar correctamente.
as vezes falha, até em selecionar e copiar, mas ainda é muito bom
Dec. 5 does not scan the text in the image, nor does it translate.
While the OCR is the best I've come across and also, one of the fastest, it's bugging my mind that it doesn't allow me to copy the scanned text. It's of no use to me if I can't copy the text. I have to instead type the text which I can do even without this OCR. Please developer look into this problem. I don't want to remove it because it's the best in its business but currently, it's useless to me. I hope you'll make the amendments. Thank you for your valuable efforts into this.

Exceptional translations! This is by far just as good if not better, IMO, than Ichigo Reader due to the fact that the latter charges $8.99 a month to use their translation services when this charges none. I'm really enjoying using this app guys and I hope that you continue to build upon and improve its usability going forward.

Cool but can you make the bubble move-able, and most important is text can correct-able

Very good OCR, only problem I've had with it is that it can't scan previews of PDFs, but works great with everything else. Highly recommended that you install this, great quality OCR, to say the least.
