User Reviews

Reviews are mixed: many users praise the extension for being easy to install, fast, and effective for simple OCR tasks with helpful multilingual support and a convenient copy-from-screenshot workflow. However, a significant number report it doesn’t work reliably, with errors or degraded OCR performance (some language-specific after updates). Some note formatting issues like line breaks and the need for workaround steps. Overall, it’s useful when it works, but reliability is inconsistent across languages and updates.

Pros

Easy to install and easy to use
Fast and generally reliable for simple OCR tasks
Multilingual support (Korean, English, and other languages)
Allows direct copying/extraction of text from screenshots

Cons

Inconsistent/unreliable performance with frequent 'not working' reports and errors
OCR accuracy not consistently reliable across languages and after updates
Output can include unwanted line breaks / formatting issues
May require workaround steps (e.g., opening the image in a new tab) to extract text
