## Description

<b>Usage</b>
- Right click over an image in a web page
- Select "Extract Text from Image"
- A popup will open with korporize interface
- Wait for tesseract to work in the background
- Obtain results in korporize panel
- (Optional) copy results to clipboard

To obtain good results:
- make sure the automatic language detected is suitable for the characters in the image loaded
- choose an alternate language (and repeat the process)
- increase quality (in Options page)
(try Normal or Best - both will take longer)
- make sure you have a suitable page segmentation for the image
(will make this choice handier in future releases)
- choose a higher resolution image if available

<b>Features</b>
- Extracts text from any image while browsing
- Works offline (requires network only the first time a language is used to cache the dictionaries)
- Automatic language detection (based on the visited web page)
- Prevents downloading twice already loaded images

<b>Notes</b>
- Careful with the size of language dictionaries
- Expect around 8Mb for Normal and 12Mb for Best Quality per language
- Aside from above dictionaries no other data is ever stored by korporize

<b>Todo</b>
- Many other options for accessing Tesseract functionality (image from link, PDF load and save, etc...)
- Preloading of language dictionaries (via Options page)
- Provide some cache management options
- Provide access as an API for other webextensions
