This stuff is far superior for Chinese character recognition. Does amazingly well with text on background images as long as there is some contrast. Sometimes image cap doesn't work in Firefox, but Chrome derivatives are fine (I'm using with Vivaldi).




I remember uninstalling this due to malware reasons. I guess it has been resolved for a long time now?

Google Cloud Vision OCR is incredible for Chinese character recognition. I think it's the same backend as Google Translate uses.
