OCR accuracy can be inconsistent, producing garbled results on otherwise legible text (even at high accuracy).

Is OCR - Image Reader 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.

OCR - Image Reader requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
