Screenshot Reader is a free Chrome extension developed by Texthelp. It is designed to provide OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality for users of Read&Write for Google Chrome. This extension enables users to capture and read text from screenshots, offering a convenient way to access and understand textual information.

With Screenshot Reader, users can take a screenshot of any text-based content, such as articles, documents, or web pages, and have the text extracted and read aloud. This feature is particularly useful for individuals with visual impairments or those who prefer to listen to text rather than read it. The extension uses advanced OCR technology to accurately recognize and convert text from images.

To use Screenshot Reader, you must have Read&Write for Google Chrome installed. Once installed, simply take a screenshot using the extension's interface, and the text will be instantly read back to you. The extension provides a seamless and efficient way to access text from images without the need for manual transcription.

Please note that Screenshot Reader should only be installed if you specifically require the screenshot reading functionality offered by Read&Write for Google Chrome. If you do not need this feature, there is no need to install the extension.
