Questions people ask
- Is it really free?
- Yes — right-click OCR and area capture are free, 10 recognitions a day, forever. Pro removes the daily cap and adds batch and 100+ languages for a single $9.99 payment.
- Does Pro read better than Free?
- No — and that is deliberate. Free and Pro run the exact same engine, so you can fully test recognition quality on your own images before paying a cent. Pro removes the daily cap and adds batch, languages and history.
- Can it read handwriting?
- Mostly no, and we would rather tell you now than after you paid. Handwriting, decorative fonts and very blurry photos are genuinely hard for any OCR engine. Printed and on-screen text are its home turf.
- Why is there no subscription?
- Because recognition runs on your device, serving you costs us nothing per use — so charging you monthly would not be honest. Pay once, keep it forever.
- Does it work on PDFs and videos?
- Yes. Area capture (Alt+Shift+T) grabs text from anything visible on your screen — including PDF pages and paused videos.
- What languages can it read?
- English is included. Pro unlocks 100+ languages including Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hindi.
- What if I buy Pro and regret it?
- Email [email protected] within 30 days and we refund you, no questions asked.
About Copy Text from Image
Copy Text from Image is a Chrome extension by MiniWebtool that pulls text out of anything you can see in your browser. Right-click an image, or press Alt+Shift+T and drag over any part of the screen — the text is recognized by the open-source Tesseract engine running entirely on your device, then copied to your clipboard. Nothing is ever uploaded. It reads printed and on-screen text best (screenshots, PDFs, clean documents); handwriting and decorative fonts are genuinely hard for any OCR. The core features are free every day; Pro removes the daily cap and adds batch recognition and 100+ languages for a single one-time payment — no subscription, no data collection.
