    ocr-it

    423thiagotigaz/ocr-it · JavaScript

    OCR It is a Chrome and Firefox extension for reading paginated documents trapped in a viewer that won't let you select text — a scanned book, a slide deck, a PDF, or any reader. You pin a screen region once, then each hotkey press screenshots that rectangle, OCRs it offline, and appends the text to a running transcript.
