Add-on summary
Namida OCR is a local OCR extension that harnesses Tesseract.js for fast, offline recognition of Japanese text (vertical or horizontal) in Microsoft Edge.
- Snip & Copy: Use Alt + Q to capture any region of your screen. The recognized text is copied to your clipboard automatically for easy lookups or translations.
- Speak Aloud: Namida OCR can speak the extracted text using Edge’s installed Windows voices—when you have a Japanese language pack or “natura” TTS voices installed.
- Offline ESRGAN Upscaling: Improve text clarity with ESRGAN or switch to basic linear upscaling for speed.
- No External Servers: All processing takes place locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
Ideal for manga, visual novels, or any scenario where you want to quickly extract and optionally listen to Japanese text. Namida OCR keeps everything in-browser and offline, giving you full control over your data.
