User reviews

The 'One-click reading image (OCR)' Edge add-on is praised by some users for its Chinese text recognition and ease of use. However, common issues include high recognition errors and frequent request limit errors in the free version, causing disrupted usage. Some users face permission or functionality problems, rendering screenshot-based text recognition unusable. While a pro version is available to avoid limits, the free tier's shared usage leads to inconsistent experience.

Cons

High error rate in text recognition results
Free version has daily and concurrency request limits causing 'request limit reached' errors

Some users report the screenshot text recognition feature does not work at all
