    Ich habe dieses Plugin mit der damaligen Benennung BLACKBOX OCR (BLACKBOX - Best OCR EVER! for Browser + Windows + Mac) als Lifetime-Version gekauft. Es wurde umbenannt und der OCR-Dienst ist nicht mehr verfügbar. Ich wurde darüber nicht informiert. So geht man nicht mit seinen Kunden um!

    Pessoal descobri como conseguir usar a ferramenta de copiar o texto, acesse "chrome://extensions/" no navegador Chrome, acesse "Atalhos do teclado" na lateral esquerda da página e procure pela extensão "BlackboxAI". Modifique o atalho da seção BlackboxAI Vision para "Alt + S".
