I couldn't make it work (or any others like it). Sometimes I'd get a green checkmark, but mostly not. I'd always get a selection box, but nothing after that. Seems like I'm missing something.

OCR works well enough for my needs since I only select one word at a time. It's not perfect in recognizing Zero "0" or the letter "O" but it's not a huge problem.

its the only ocr that lets you copy and paste at the speed of light while also not compromising any of the screen from your view (other ocrs have large text that gets in the way saying something like "select what youd like to copy" but cover literally everything im looking at). You just hold shift and box highlight like in snipping tool. It'll already be in your clipboard too. HOWEVER-- and this is really annoying... The downside is every time you paste it into a document, the extension automatically adds 2 lines down as if i pressed enter twice. I'm attempting to quickly write an outline and having to backspace every single time, multiple times gets on my nerves. Other than that, it is great and really fast. Doesn't block your vision nor require extra button clicks. Very convenient!!
