Review Summary

Users appreciate this Chrome extension for its high-quality OCR recognition and convenient image scanning features, especially for manga and comics translations. However, many report it frequently stops working after reaching monthly limits, requires Chrome sync causing errors on some browsers, and lacks functionality for PDFs and videos. Users also desire movable pop-up windows and improved ability to copy scanned text for greater usability.

Pros

  • High quality and accurate OCR recognition, often praised as the best OCR extension.
  • Convenient and effective tool for scanning and translating images on websites, including manga and comics.
  • Fast and exceptional translation capabilities without charging users for basic usage.
  • Supports multiple languages and works well on various types of content, except PDFs and videos.
  • Well-liked for its user-friendly interface and features helping in reading vertical text (e.g., in manga) with some limitations.

Cons

  • Extension frequently stops working after some usage, often due to monthly scan limits requiring payment.
  • Requires Chrome sync and login, which causes issues on browsers like Brave and leads to error messages.
  • Lack of support for PDF documents and videos; OCR doesn't work well on these formats.
  • Pop-up windows and translation bubbles are not movable, reducing usability.
  • Cannot copy scanned text easily, limiting user interaction with OCR results.
