CodeOCR is an open-source browser extension designed specifically for developers needing to extract code snippets from images. This tool employs advanced optical character recognition (OCR) technology to accurately identify various programming languages while maintaining the original formatting, including indentation and syntax. This feature is particularly useful for developers who frequently work with online tutorials or screenshots that contain code, allowing for quick and reliable transcription without losing the original structure.

The extension operates locally with a Go backend, which enhances transcription speed and ensures a seamless browsing experience. CodeOCR is readily available for free on the Chrome platform, making it an accessible tool for anyone looking to improve their coding workflow. Its user-friendly interface and efficient functionality make it a valuable addition to any developer's toolkit.
