How to copy text from an image (in 2 clicks, free)

How to copy text from an image (in 2 clicks, free)

Copying text online is certainly an action we do many times during the day, but the problem is that the text from the image cannot be copied - we have to retype it. However, today there are intelligent OCR tools for image text recognition.

Tesseract OCR is one such tool, ie. a package that contains everything you need to recognize text from an image. Best of all, it recognizes almost all languages ​​around the world - including Serbian!

Of course, Tesseract OCR is completely free and open-source, which means we have a bunch of applications that use it. This is how the Tesseract JS library was created, which means that we can use this powerful OCR tool in our favorite web browser!

What we are interested in are finished products that rely on Tesseract and in this case Tesseract JS.

Quixy Toolbox OCR

This is a new free add-on for web browsers that comes to us from Quixy, with which you can very easily "extract" and copy text from any image.

Because the plugin uses the aforementioned Tessaract JS library, we have several benefits:

  • Everything is free
  • We have one of the most powerful OCR tools available
  • Everything takes place in your web browser (nothing is sent outside the web browser)
  • Recognizes almost all languages ​​of the world (even Serbian)
  • Easy to use

How is Quixy Toolbox OCR used?

You first need to install the Chrome Web Store Plugin - INSTALL.

Open the image you want to copy the text from. The image must be visible on the screen, so it can be inserted on a web page.

Now click on the add-on icon that appears in the add-ons panel.

In the options panel, select a language (if the current one doesn't suit you).
