No more retyping quotes from images, PDF viewers, video subtitles, error dialogs, or scanned documents. 🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST BY DEFAULT The default engine (Tesseract.js) runs 100% inside your browser — screenshots and text never leave your device. No account required, no upload, no tracking. 🚀 NEW: OPTIONAL AI VISION FOR HARD CASES When Tesseract struggles (handwriting, low-contrast text, complex layouts), switch to a cloud VLM engine with your own API key: • Google Gemini 2.5 Flash (best accuracy) • Alibaba Qwen-VL / DashScope (works in mainland China) • OpenRouter aggregator (free tier with Llama Vision & Nemotron) Cloud engines only activate when YOU pick them — never by default. Your API keys are stored locally. ⚡ CORE FEATURES • One-click region capture on any website (works on canvas, video frames, protected PDFs) • Local OCR + 3 optional cloud VLM engines • 5 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean • Smart post-processing: mixed-script detection, common OCR error correction • History panel with thumbnails — re-copy anytime • Auto-copy to clipboard (optional) • Lightweight (~300 KB), no bloat 💎 SUPPORTER PRO (Optional, one-time $9.9) Love the extension?
