Press Alt+Shift+T or click the extension icon and select the area. Recognition happens instantly, so you can paste the text right away. Does it work if the text can't be selected? Yes. That's exactly what it is for: a picture, a video frame or a protected page where normal selection does not work. Does it work with files on my computer? Yes. Drag the file into a Chrome tab and select the text in the same two clicks. Just turn on "Allow access to file URLs" in the extension details once. Does it recognise handwriting? It is an img to txt tool built for printed text and gives you plain, editable text. Handwriting and complex layouts may need a quick check after copying. Can I capture only a small part of a picture? Yes. Select only the line or the word you need, and only that part is recognised. Does it work on any website? It works on regular web pages: image hosting, social networks, online courses, news sites and documents opened in Chrome. Chrome system pages, such as settings or the Web Store itself, can't be captured by any extension. Which languages are supported? English at launch. More languages are coming in future updates. Is my data safe? Yes. Recognition runs locally in your browser. The extension makes no network requests, collects no data and shows no ads. 💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS 1. Zoom the page in before selecting small text. 2. Select a tight area around the text, without extra icons or photos. 3. For long documents, copy one block at a time. 4. Dark text on a light background is recognised best. Copy Text from Image is a simple helper that saves you from retyping. Install it once, and every image on the web becomes text you can copy.
