OCR Buddy

Fully local Chrome OCR extension for code, prose, formulas, and tables, no server, no hallucinated text.

Browser extensionfreeglobal

A free, open-source Chrome extension that extracts text, code, LaTeX formulas, and tables from anything on screen, running entirely on-device with no server and no account. It uses classic (non-generative) OCR so it fails to blanks rather than inventing text when an image is unclear, and can also convert a whole page into clean Markdown for use with an LLM.
