## Description

The **OCR Image to Text Scanner** Chrome extension uses powerful Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to digitize and edit text directly from images. Supporting over 44 languages including Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Korean fonts, it accurately recognizes text and converts it into editable format. Users can easily scan images, photos, or documents and extract text for further editing or sharing.

Beyond text recognition, this extension includes a handy Text-to-Speech (TTS) function that reads the extracted text aloud, enhancing accessibility and productivity. It allows easy copying or sharing of recognized text, turning any smartphone or computer into a versatile text scanner. With an ad-free upgrade option and a user-friendly experience, this extension is ideal for digitizing textbooks, recipes, contracts, and more. Please ensure clear, high-quality images for best results, as recognition accuracy depends on image clarity and font type.
