**Namida OCR** is a completely local OCR browser extension for both **Chrome**, **Firefox**, and **Edge**. It enables you to take a “snip” (screenshot) of any part of your current tab, upscale it (either via basic linear upscaling or ESRGAN), and then perform OCR on the snipped region using Tesseract.js. The OCR supports Japanese vertical text at the moment and automatically copies the recognized text to your clipboard, making it easy to use with online dictionaries like [Yomitan](https://github.com/yomidevs/yomitan) or manual translation tools. Additionally, Namida OCR includes the option to speak the recognized text aloud using your browser’s text-to-speech capabilities.
