Features & Capabilities

OCR + Translate is an open source Chrome extension designed to translate images directly on any webpage. By capturing images on active tabs, it sends them to a user-hosted backend server which performs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and translation. Users can deploy the backend using freely available or fine-tuned models, enabling completely offline operation without sending data to external servers.

This extension injects scripts into pages to detect and process images in-place, then overlays translated textboxes seamlessly on top of them. It supports multiple plugins to extend the types of OCR and translation models used, offering great flexibility. Privacy is maintained since no user data is collected unless external plugins are explicitly used. Detailed documentation is available for installing and configuring both the extension and server.

Ideal for users needing reliable, customizable image translation without internet dependency, this tool bridges language barriers right within the browser while respecting privacy and open-source principles.

no matter what i do, the extension does not work. I have done my absolute best attempting to install this thing, but it just won't work. Dev, if you see this; i would love some help because something just isn't clicking. This is also the only way i can figure out how to contact you. Discord @ is 'attilla_' display name should be Mamdom, if you see this please help if you're willing.

✅ I checked the HOMEPAGE. ✅ I checked some demos for the extension and the server github page with explanations. ✅ I read the README and the dedicated documentation page. But it still doesn't work. I sincerely appreciate the creator's effort and kindness in sharing this (no sarcasm), but this is a complete disaster and beyond saving.

issues with translating korean, forgive me for not being to knowledgeable but even using the google translate model its not as good as just putting it into google translate manually for some reason. changing ocr and box changes the quality of translation Will comeback to this for improvements.

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

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

OCR + Translate is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
