Project Naptha – highlight, copy, and translate text from any image by Kevin Kwok.
From the webpage:
Project Naptha automatically applies state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms on every image you see while browsing the web. The result is a seamless and intuitive experience, where you can highlight as well as copy and paste and even edit and translate the text formerly trapped within an image.
The homepage has examples of Project Naptha being used on comics, scans, photos, diagrams, Internet memes, screenshots, along with sneak peeks at beta features, such as translation, erase text (from images) and change text. (You can select multiple regions with the shift key.)
This should be especially useful for journalists, bloggers, researchers, basically anyone who spends a lot of time looking for content on the Web.
If the project needs a slogan, I would suggest:
Naptha Frees Information From Image Prisons!
