It used to work great (for copying text from images). But since the last update it regularly fails, and has to be removed then reinstalled to repair. Support is responsive but can not offer a solution.

doesnt work anymore

Used to work, now it doesn't. Simple as that. Also requires an account.

Emanuel Oliveira2023年2月9日

80% of the times is able to convert image text into text, but not always, most of the times theres need to manual editiing, still found it interesting. Seems it doesnt work in youtube ? This extension not able to convert text present in a paused YT video ?

I have to disable because it breaks JSFiddle - it never loads when this extension is enabled. Please fix

ItzzOver2023年1月21日

Used to be useful and free, now the company charges you weekly for it, I get why but I still wouldnt recommend it.

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.
