Ocrette – Copy Text from Image (Offline OCR) by kyomawa

Ocrette copies the text of any area of your screen: an image, a screenshot, a scanned PDF, a paused video or text you simply cannot select. Text recognition (OCR) runs on your computer: no image is ever uploaded.

How it works
• Press Alt+Shift+O or click the icon, then draw a rectangle: the text is copied to your clipboard.
• Right-click an image → "Copy text from image".
• "Read a file": drop an image or a PDF. Text already present in a PDF is extracted directly; scanned pages go through OCR.
• You can edit the text before copying; "Copy as one line" removes line breaks.

100% local and private
• The recognition engine and the languages ship inside the extension: offline OCR that works without a connection.
• No permanent access to websites: Ocrette only sees a page after your action (shortcut, click, menu).
• No account, no ads, no usage analytics.
• Made for sensitive documents: the image never leaves your device, no upload, ever.

Free
• 10 extractions a day, in English and French.
