on en peut absolument rien fait si on a paye pas

Pablo Valdes2024年2月10日

I paid for the OCR, and now it's messed up and inconvenient, you think if we wanted an AI chatbox we would've got this extension, regardless of that, whose idea was it to merge that with the OCR extension, make it 2 separate extensions if you want that, the developers or whoever was in charge of this decision made a major mistake, correct it for your own sake as a business, this is ridiculous to those of us that paid for the OCR

oussama oussama2024年2月9日

Many people are complaining about the new update. We understand that BlackboxAI is much more than just an OCR solution, but for a long time, that was the main selling point of the extension. We hope that we can go back to using the OCR solution without having to deal with the chat box. It is possible to activate the OCR option in Chrome by setting a keyboard shortcut in the extension's settings. This allows for the extension to be activated without having to open the chat.

I used this app to copy text that you aren't able to highlight. That was your main selling point. Why did you remove it for a chat box

wheres the ocr, blackbox devs?? ctrl+e aint workin!

Augusto Peralta2024年2月9日

Antes era para extraer texto OCR. ahora quitaron esa función y abre un totalmente inutil chat para desarrollar por AI. no lo necesito!!! no es por lo que lo adquirí!!! No lo compren, cambian su funcionalidad cada vez que se les da la gana y no tiene soporte, hasta quitaron su sitio web.

Aparentemente eles mudaram a forma de ativação. Acesse "chrome://extensions/" no navegador Chrome, acesse a área de "Atalhos do teclado" na lateral esquerda da página e procure pela extensão "BlackboxAI". Modifique o atalho da seção BlackboxAI Vision para "Ctrl + E".

AI product read

AI-powered text and code assistant browser extension that provides in-context AI editing, explanation, and generation capabilities on any webpage

Helps developers and users quickly get AI assistance for code understanding, optimization, debugging, text summarization, translation, and editing without leaving their current browsing context

User selects text on any webpage → a tooltip appears → clicking the tooltip opens a popup menu with AI action options (explain, summarize, translate, optimize code, etc.) → action sends the selected text to an AI API (GPT-4o-mini via oi-vscode-server-2.onrender.com) → streaming response is displayed inline with markdown formatting and copy button. On GitHub, a dedicated 'Code Chat' button appears on code files. OCR workflow: user presses keyboard shortcut → selects screen area → screenshot is sent to blackboxapp.co for image-to-text extraction → result is copied to clipboard.

Target users: Software developers seeking inline code assistance / GitHub users wanting AI help understanding codebases / Knowledge workers needing text summarization/translation / Students learning to code

Extension is heavily minified/bundled (IIFE format), making detailed logic tracing difficult
The large content-ui/index.iife.js (3.1MB) was not fully analyzed due to size
The userid mechanism (how it gets populated and whether it gates API access) is unclear from the extension source alone

Monetization

No paid features detected

No payment UI, billing APIs, subscription gates, feature locks, or upgrade prompts found anywhere in the extension source code. Keywords like 'premium', 'upgrade', 'payment', 'stripe', and 'pricing' returned zero matches. The 'pro' matches are all React production build identifiers (react.production.min.js, react.profiler), not paid feature indicators. The deterministic heuristic confirmed isPaid=0. BLACKBOX.AI as a web service (blackbox.ai) likely has paid tiers, but the extension itself does not gate any features behind payment.

Confidence: 75
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / Medium
Login required: No
Reason: No login UI or authentication flow found in the extension source code. The content script sends an optional 'userid' header (from local storage, can be empty string) to the AI API endpoint at https://oi-vscode-server-2.onrender.com/v1/chat/completions, but no mechanism was found in the extension to set or obtain this userid through login. The popup and options pages contain no login forms, OAuth flows, or credential entry UI. The extension appears functional without authentication.
