Privacy you can verify

Your pixels are not telemetry.

OCR input, recognized text, file names, page URLs, and page titles are not transmitted. Anonymous growth measurement uses a random client ID plus enums, counts, outcomes, version, and locale.

English trained data, the worker, the WebAssembly OCR core, and the PDF worker ship inside the extension package.

input: local image pixels
engine: bundled Tesseract 5
output: local editable text
telemetry: enums and counts only
remote executable code: none

Pro is visible before the limit.

Questions before installing.

Does English OCR work offline?

Yes. The English model and executable OCR assets are bundled locally.

What data is collected?

Anonymous user-activity events and a random client ID are collected for funnel and retention measurement. Images, recognized text, file names, URLs, and titles are excluded.

Why can region capture fail?

Chrome blocks extension scripts on internal pages and the Chrome Web Store. Upload or paste the image instead.

What counts as one job?

Each completed image or PDF page recognition counts as one OCR job.
