New Chrome extension OCR It turns un-selectable PDFs into LLM-ready text

OCR It is a Chrome extension that lets users draw a fixed capture region over a paginated document viewer—like a scanned book or locked PDF—and repeatedly screenshot and OCR that same spot with a hotkey, building a full text transcript as pages turn. An auto-run mode can capture, advance the page, and repeat until the document ends, all processed locally using a bundled Tesseract engine with no network calls or API keys required.
