#2On my phone so I don't have a chance to give it a shot, but what I find has been most irritating in the past about ocr is the accuracy. If your extension has better accuracy you might call that out.

For developers: Copyfish is published under the
GPL open-source license. As OCR software, it uses
the free OCR API from https://ocr.space/Re: Show HN: Copyfish – Extract text from images, videos or PDF

I saw the heading on HN and thought "I wonder if it works with Chinese".
I saw the first example screenshot on the page was a Chinese movie and thought "Great, it does"
I saw the enlarged version of the screenshot and the Chinese subtitles contain multiple mistakes: "Nice try, but maybe not so great after all for the use case I'd personally be interested in".

#9Is the OCR-extraction performed in the client? if its transferred to a server then people should be aware of this so sensitive data from documents/pdf is not submitted.
