Features & Capabilities

Namida OCR is a local browser extension that delivers fast, offline text recognition with Tesseract.js, plus an optional TTS feature for Japanese text.

Snip & OCR: Press Alt + Q on Windows or Option + Q on Mac to snip any region of the page containing Japanese text (vertical).
Furigana: Choose from either Hiragana or Katakana phonetic pronunciation of Kanji.
Clipboard & TTS: The recognized text is automatically copied to your clipboard and can also be spoken aloud using Chrome’s built-in voices, including high-quality remote Japanese voices.
Privacy-Focused: No external servers are used. All OCR and (optional) up-scaling happen locally in your browser.
Tensorflow Upscaling: Select Tensorflow for sharper text in challenging images, or opt for faster linear up-scaling.

Ideal for manga, visual novels, or any scenario where you want to quickly extract and optionally listen to Japanese text. Namida OCR keeps everything in-browser and offline, giving you full control over your data.

Works awful

by Ka*****, 2026-04-18

most of the time it doesn't recognise text even when the picture is in black and white and text is clear. and most of the time when it does recognise text, it just gives shit. not worth your while

It works but it's not reliable, the result doesn't always match what's actually written on the image.

Is Namida OCR Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Namida OCR requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Namida OCR may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
