About this extension
Extract and translate text from images, comics, scans, or any area of a web page without leaving your current tab. Free and open source.

Text recognition (OCR) runs locally in your browser. Translation uses Google Translate by default, or you can connect your own LLM endpoint.

How to use:
  1. Activate the extension from the browser toolbar or context menu, or press Ctrl+Shift+F.
  2. Select an area of the page.
  3. Click "Translate".

To translate an image directly, right-click it and select "Translate this image".

Features:
  • Local OCR powered by PaddleOCR
  • Support for Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, Korean, Arabic, and Devanagari scripts
  • Automatic source-language detection
  • Speech-bubble detection for manga and comics
  • Display translations directly over the original content or in a separate panel
  • Copy recognized or translated text to the clipboard
  • Text-to-speech through Google TTS
  • Connect your own LLM endpoint (llama.cpp, LM Studio, and other compatible providers)
