Ever tried copying text from an image? Quite! impossible. Not many have been used to OCR’s or even heard about them.But when it comes to Google, they choose the best way that their products reach all its users.Here comes the new Add-on for the Chrome users.
This would definitely be a break through in the meme world residing in social sites. The fun memes are gonna reach out an ultimate-fun time.
Google now ends up with Project Naptha. This project was developed by developer Kevin Kwok, helping you to cut,copy,modify,translate or delete texts from the pdf files, images around the web and the forever fun memes. This would be a dream come true for most students suffering from assignments, where the required content might be present in the form of an image or a pdf. Writing all the content to the Assignment by the old means-Typing was hell-a-lot of work. It works on a number of OCR(optical character recognition) algorithms, along with libraries of Microsoft and Google which quickly build a model of text regions, words and letters from nearly any image.
Kwok says, he’s consistently working on expanding the project, which will include bringing it to other browsers like Mozilla Firefox. Right now, not all images allow you to edit words within them, although the developer has said he hopes to include support for vertical text in the future
The add-on is available in the Google’s Chrome Web Store as a free version. All we have to do is install the add-on and select any image you want and your pdf files now works like a word document and your image just works the way you wanted.Simply move over the Sentence in the image, as usual select it and right-click, a pop-down appears with all the above said options.
Also, handwriting detection is difficult (in particular, the issue is character segmentation, it’s quite difficult to separate apart letters which are smushed so close as to be connected), if you try to copy and paste text from a comic, it ends up jumbled. This might be improved in the future, because certain parts of the Naptha stack do lag behind the present state-of-the-art by a few years.
Naptha also supports rotated text (though it is still absolutely hopeless if the text is rotated by more than 30 degrees or so).Naptha takes every distinct colors from area around the text and intelligently uses the space where it must be. It’s not perfect, but it certainly beats having to open a dedicated image editor.
