Image to Text for ChatGPT Extension

Update: Supports 12+ Major Languages!

Full Tutorial Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zob0us4bPc8

This extension was born out of a need for a fast, quick and intuitive way to get text from images into the textbox for ChatGPT. This extension accomplishes this with a great degree of accuracy and average speeds of ~5 seconds or less.

Now, you don't have to switch between multiple tools just for Optical Character Recognition (OCR). With this extension, you can easily upload an image file or drag and drop it for conversion into text, which will automatically populate your ChatGPT textbox.

Additionally, if you have a screenshot in your clipboard, you can directly paste (Ctrl+V) it into the textbox. Quick, hassle-free, and highly efficient - this extension is built with a focus on speed, user-friendliness, and most importantly, privacy.

For the Tech Savvy: Powered by Tesseract.js, this extension runs OCR directly in your browser, keeping your data secure as none of your information leaves your device. All the OCR work is performed locally, ensuring maximum privacy.

But we understand that sometimes, you may need an extra level of precision or need to retain the original format of the image, especially when dealing with content like Python code. For such instances, we provide an option to enable an embedded third-party solution created by Pieces.app. Check out their service at: https://www.codefromscreenshot.com/

All source code for complete transparency can be found on GitHub at: https://github.com/Tshetrim/Image-To-Text-OCR-extension-for-ChatGPT

Disclaimer: Please note, if you opt to use the third-party embedded option, your privacy and data handling will be subject to their policy as this extension is not affiliated with them.

Invest in your productivity today with our Chrome GPT extension, and experience the future of text transcription!

Farshad Rahimi (ID: 0000004764a6227e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/11/2023 The tutorial mentioned that there are dozens of languages available. However, after installing the extension, I found only 11 languages. Why is that?

Giuliano Giovannetti (ID: 0000004abadd05e9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/27/2023 I tested on a few scans of business cards and it produced very accurate results in GPT4. It also automatically corrected OCR spelling mistakes. I have been waiting for this for a decade! At the moment i drop one image at a time and then tell chatgpt to produce a summary table at the end to paste in excel or similar. If someone could automate the process for multiple pictures from the phone directly into contacts it would be great.

just fined (ID: 000000c968effece) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 It was great, it is quick and fast. Only thing bothers me that you have to add or delete (anything) to send the image (like I have to add an extra space so the send button turns green)

icon

Vikas R S (ID: 00000094cbe874ac) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/23/2023 It was working fine until yesterday. However, now when this extension is enabled, the chat UI is hidden, and I can't see any chats.
