CopyFish

Copyfish is a well-designed and intuitive free OCR software that helps users extract text from images, videos, and PDFs with ease. Until now, retyping the text was the only option for users needing to extract text from these sources, but Copyfish offers a faster, more fun, and more convenient solution. Users can easily extract text from various types of images, including photographs, charts, diagrams, screenshots, PDF documents, comics, error messages, memes, Flash, and even Youtube movies.

Copyfish's free OCR software is available as a browser extension for three popular browsers: Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. All versions of the software are technically identical and include a desktop capture OCR feature. Users can also add desktop OCR support by installing the UI. Vision XModule is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Extracting text from opened documents, file menus, browser extensions, Web pages, presentations, games or PDF files is easy with Copyfish.

One feature that makes Copyfish stand out is its Screenshot Reader. The feature allows text already present within any image captured from the screen to be turned into an editable format without needing to retype it. This feature makes it easy to reuse text for digital documents, emails, or reports. Enabling this feature is straightforward - the user only needs to right-click the Copyfish icon and select Desktop Text Capture to trigger the desktop capture.

Copyfish is now 100% open-source, and the Copyfish PRO and PRO+ plans are no longer available for purchase. The software supports multiple languages, including Arabic, Chinese OCR (Simplified and traditional characters), Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Slovenian OCR, Swedish, and Turkish.

For more information or assistance, users can refer to the Copyfish help page, ask in the OCR software forum, or email the tech support team. The website also encourages users to rate and share the software on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to make it better over time.

In summary, Copyfish is a must-have tool for anyone who needs to extract text from images, videos, and PDFs quickly and easily. It is free, user-friendly, and supports multiple languages, making it a useful tool for both personal and professional use.
