- Rated 3 out of 5by eUROs, 7 years agoUPDATE 9/11/17: It does a fair OCR job, for both languages (Greek & english) Only in some cases. Not always. It depends from the text on the picture I guess. The translation fails though, But I really don't need the translation and I have disabled it from the Options. I just need the OCR alone.
This tool is Not good for capturing URL links. Because I found this screenshot which is an example of the "error" popup window. from one web page and the text was: [[<>]]
I tried to OCR this, But it could only capture only the simple 2 lines of text: [The Requested file was not a valid file]
BUT the lines which have special characters couldn't recognize it: [C:\Users\.....]
* I have also tested it on the "dilbert.com" website (like you did on your example) and it works capturing text on Comic images.
I have noticed that sometimes It converts the (i) letter as a Number (1) and the (comma) as a (full stop dot) in some images.
* You should add the (Options Button) when we right Click on the Addon. It is a painful process to find the options to change the Language.
* Also on the Youtube video in (FIREFOX 56.0.2) I tried your Chinese example video and it works Great! => https://youtu.be/8dRWw4FIYqs
But on YouTube video, in the (CHROME Browser) it is Unable to capture the text. it shows me this Warning:
(Please try again when the page has loaded. Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs.)
*And last but not least, On another Comic Image Example it can not recognize this kind of text/font => http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20170430/
Anyway, all in all, this Addon works fairly with Firebox 56.0.2!
I want to believe that in Future updates will be much better. I guess. - Rated 4 out of 5by CbITHO, 7 years agodont work at ff but all ok at googlehrome

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13313636, 7 years agoI upgraded to Firefox 57 Beta today and Copyfish works just fine.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12766830, 7 years agoI too have the issue with the addon not working. It says: "Unable to capture screen. Please try again when the page has loaded". Nightly 57
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13273761, 7 years agoThis addon looks cool. But it doesn't work for me. Each time it shows "Unable to capture screen. Please try again when the page has loaded". I have banned all other add-ons and use Nightly 57
- Rated 5 out of 5by Geoffreyw, 7 years agoWorks great for Chinese and English (these are the languages I use it for)
- Rated 5 out of 5by decembre, 7 years agoWork perfectly .
The result need some corrections but it's very useful and simple to use.
Thanks! - Rated 3 out of 5by Yandong, 7 years agoI know a little about Chinese and China, so I know what the video you used to demonstrate this extension described. I do not think it is a good idea to involve this extension in political stuffs. At least I do not feel secure when using this add-on.

posted 7 years agoThanks for mentioning your concerns. But I can assure you that we had no hidden thoughts or even a political agenda by choosing just this video for the demo screencast. I am not even sure which agenda you have in mind, feel free to email us at team@a9t9.com with details.
That said, we will use a different video/theme when we update the screencast in the near future. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ashesh Shrestha, 7 years agoI have been watching video lectures and there are times I want to copy items. It has helped me a lot to convert instantly select a part of video and convert to text.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13140273, 7 years agoI've spent over fifteen minutes using this add-on and reading its page for basic instructions because this seems like a useful tool for an author. I click it on the top of my browser, it turns from black to gray, it prompts me to select text, and then....nothing. I create a new Word document to paste the selected text and the paste option is grayed out. This is either for developers or...has not been fully developed. -w.

- Rated 5 out of 5by me, 7 years agoIt's a great tool. Thanks.
Let's appreciate that someone made an addon that did not exist before. Stop complaining for a free thing. And people spend their free time to create these free services that you are able to use. - Rated 1 out of 5by canadaDry, 7 years agoSame as the other reviewer... "wait until page has loaded".
Perhaps they should make it compatible with the most popular addins like no-script and adblocker (I suspect that's where the issue lies)Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the report, but I can not recreate the issue. All works fine in my tests - even with Adblock Plus installed. If you use NoScript, you need to allow Javascript to run on the page, otherwise Copyfish can not calculate the height of the screenshot. But this would result in a different "image too large" error, so I assume you allowed this already.
Can you please send a screenshot of the situation to copyfish@a9t9.com ? This might us an idea on how to recreate the problem.
You might also want to try "Copyfish for Chrome" and see if this one works better for you. This will be useful information as well. Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by steffenz, 7 years agoWorks absolutely fantastic on all sites I tested it with. I use it mainly for Youtube subtitles, chat translation and gaming. Sometimes you have to reload the page for Copyfish to work as the sites needs to load after Copyfish has been turned on (so it seems).
I love this utility because I have dished out good money for far lesser performing OCR products. This is a great extension! - Rated 1 out of 5by stvol, 7 years agoПостоянно пишет:

posted 7 years agoThanks for the report, but I can not recreate the issue. All works fine in my tests. Have you tried this with several different websites and they all show the same error?
If so, can you please send a screenshot of the situation to copyfish@a9t9.com ? We can only fix issues that we can recreate.
You might also want to try "Copyfish for Chrome" and see if this one works better for you. This will be useful information as well. спасибо :)
