Local OCRNothing is uploaded
The recognition engine and the language files ship inside the extension. There is no server to send anything to — you can watch the network tab and see it stay empty.
Drag a box around a screenshot, a photo of a document, a scanned contract — and get the text. The recognition happens inside your browser, so the image never leaves your computer.
Free for 15 recognitions a month. No account, no sign-up.
Every online OCR converter asks you to upload the file first. For a bank statement, a contract or a medical report, that is the whole problem.
The recognition engine and the language files ship inside the extension. There is no server to send anything to — you can watch the network tab and see it stay empty.
On a plane, on hotel wifi, behind a corporate proxy — it makes no difference. Everything needed is already on your machine.
Install it and use it. Nothing to sign up for, no email to confirm, no password to forget.
Press Alt+Shift+O, or right-click any image and pick Grab text from this image.
Drag a box around the text you want. Small type is upscaled automatically before it is read.
The text appears in a card with a confidence score. Copy it, or edit it right there before you paste.
The free plan is a real plan, not a countdown. If fifteen recognitions a month is enough for you, it stays free forever.
Paid through Paddle. Cancel any time; you keep Pro until the period you paid for runs out.
Lens is fine for one screenshot, and it sends the image to Google to do it. This runs locally, keeps a history you can search, and reads mixed-language documents in one pass. If your work is one picture a week, use Lens — this is built for people who do it all day.
English and Russian today, both at once by default — a page that mixes the two is read in one pass. That is not a paid feature: picking the wrong language returns nonsense rather than an error, so nobody should have to pay to avoid it. More languages are coming; each one is a file inside the extension, not a service call.
On clean printed text, high — the engine reports a confidence score with every result so you know when to check. On handwriting, poor. No OCR engine handles cursive well, and one that claims otherwise is selling something.
No. It resets on the first of every month and keeps working. There is no trial to forget to cancel, which is exactly why there is no trial on Pro either.
