Product summary

Image Reader (OCR) extension helps you easily get words out of any image. It uses two different open-source OCR engines.
The 1st engine is called Tesseract. Tesseract.js is an open-source JavaScript library and is made via an Emscripten port of the famous Tesseract OCR Engine written in C and C++. Please visit (https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js) to get more info. The 2nd engine, called Granite Docling, is developed by IBM (https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M). Please note that when you choose IBM Granite Docling, the app needs to download training data (~1200MB) for the AI engine. So please be patient while it is loading.
To work with this addon, simply open the addon's interface and load your image via the file selector (top section). Before using the addon, please make sure to select the appropriate OCR engine and language. For Tesseract, the default OCR language is set to English. For Granite Docling, you do not need to set a language; just select the desired backend (CPU or GPU) and wait for the app to load completely.
Note: For the Tesseract OCR engine, this addon uses the "https://github.com/naptha/tessdata/tree/gh-pages/" GitHub repo to fetch language data required for the OCR operation. For the IBM Granite Docling, it uses "https://huggingface.co/onnx-community/granite-docling-258M-ONNX" to fetch training data required for the OCR operation. Both language data packs are very large and cannot be included in the addon package.

the best
Using it for things where you cant copy paste the information in a reading that a teacher gives to cite information, it works great. Make sure you set it to the best setting before trying to translate otherwise it comes out as random words. (Pretty sure the other reviews didn't do this before giving up on it). I haven't tested it on harder to read text styles, but basic textbook text styles come out decently with the 1% chance a word is messed up. The only other issue is it doesn't copy paste cleanly they add 'enter' spaces at the end of each line to make it flow exactly like the picture so when copy pasting it into word or a google doc you have to clean them up, but otherwise it works.
Useless.
çok iyi
AMAZING it does miss spell like a super small percentage of letters not whole words only letters in alot of languages thanks alot
thời gian nhận dạng chữ hơi lâu, mình mất khoảng 50 giây để nhận dạng 1 ảnh
It would be perfect if you add a screenshot function
thanks this is best
Makes everything unreadable
Very Great! It can support a variety of languages. It also works separately from chrome.
