User reviews
Pros
- The OCR functionality is generally accurate and effective, especially with larger text and multiple languages.
- The extension is free and does not require a subscription, which users appreciate.
- Supports multiple languages, including Japanese and is helpful for language learners and professionals.
- User interface is friendly and the tool is easy to use for extracting text from images, videos, and screenshots.
- Works well for small tasks and occasional use, and is faster or better than some other similar extensions.
Cons
- The OCR sometimes struggles with small characters or complex text such as tables, leading to incomplete or inaccurate results.
- The extension occasionally experiences connectivity issues with the OCR server, resulting in errors stating no internet connection despite internet being available.
- The extension does not remember input language settings, requiring users to reset the OCR language each time, which affects convenience.
- Recent updates require users to download a helper desktop app for certain features; this is problematic for users who cannot install software on their devices.
- Some users report that the extension fails outright, returning an empty OCR result despite indicating success, leading to uninstallations.
