Features & Capabilities

Ctrl F - Live Camera Text Search is a Chrome extension that allows you to search printed text in real-time using your device's camera. Simply point your camera at the text, and the app highlights your searched terms in green, saving you from manually scanning long documents or directories. It's perfect for quickly finding information in textbooks, navigation legends, menus, and more. Built with Google Mobile Vision API, it recognizes text through white bounding boxes and supports exact match search with plans to introduce fuzzy search and multi-line capabilities in the future. This tool enhances information accessibility by bridging the gap between digital search functionality and physical text objects.
