When you work on the web—researching, studying, coding, or simply sharing memes—you constantly bump into information trapped inside images. A screenshot of a zoom-call slide, a social-media infographic, the label on a product photo: each holds text you’d rather copy-paste than re-type.
After installation the extension registers a single context-menu entry that appears only when you right-click an image element. No clutter in normal menus, no toolbar buttons to remember—just “Extract text from image” exactly where you expect it. Click once and a Chrome side panel slides in, showing a friendly progress spinner followed by a textarea containing the recognised text. From that textarea you can:
Copy the full result with one click.
Real-World Use Cases Academic research – Copy inline citations or obscure symbols from scanned PDFs without launching a separate app.
Software development – Snag cryptic compiler errors shown in an embedded screenshot on Stack Overflow so you can search them directly.
Content creation – Extract quotes from Twitter images for alt-text or blog posts, preserving accessibility.
eCommerce & logistics – Pull serial numbers or SKU codes from product photos to paste into inventory software.
Language learning – Grab foreign words on a signpost photo and drop them into your flash-card deck.
In every scenario the side-panel model keeps the source page visible, so you can verify that the recognised text matches the image without juggling windows.
