Image Reader (OCR) - Extract Text from Images

Image Reader (OCR) is a Firefox add-on that enables the extraction of text from images. It utilizes an open-source OCR library, Tesseract, made via an Emscripten port of the Tesseract OCR engine. This add-on requires users to select an appropriate OCR language before performing the operation and uses an external repository to fetch necessary language data for OCR.
