Copyfish for the program Google Chrome browser is not the first visual extension recognitionof characters (Optical Character Recognition or OCR), as Project Naptha already exists.
But the extension seems to extend functionality by adding new options that Project Naptha does not have.
Probably the biggest advantagecase στα χαρακτηριστικά που Copyfish είναι ότι σας δίνει τη δυνατότητα να επιλέξετε κείμενο από βίντεο και έγγραφα PDF που εμφανίζονται στο Chrome, καθώς και κείμενο από pictures. It should be noted that Project Naptha limits its translation to images only.
The second new feature is a direct translation. Imagine watching a YouTube video showing subtitles in a foreign language that you do not understand.
Using Copyfish you can watch the video with translated subtitles!
Copyfish adds icon to line Chrome addresses.
Note that the extension requires permission to read and change the data on all the websites you visit.
The icon appears in red or black, depending on whether you can use the OCR extension features on a page or not.
If the icon is red and you click on it, the extension will show an overlay on your screen and ask you to draw a rectangle around the text you want to translate.
The text is automatically processed and opens an overlay in the lower right corner of your screen that displays the copied text as a top and bottom translation.
