OCR Text Inserter — Shashank

OCR Text Inserter is a Chrome and Firefox extension that allows users to capture text from real-world documents using their device camera and automatically insert the extracted text into any active input field (such as search bars, textboxes, or editable content areas) on the previously focused tab. It uses the API Ninjas OCR API for accurate image-to-text conversion. The extension launches a camera interface in a popup, captures the image, sends it to the OCR API, and then pastes the recognized text back into the original web page. This tool is useful for quick data entry, form filling, or copying physical text into digital systems. The source code is unminified and clearly structured, and includes build instructions and permissions for camera access, tab communication, and content script injection for inserting text into webpages.
