Is OCR safe?
OCR sends captured screen regions to OCR.space for text recognition and opens a JD Cloud affiliate page from its result link.
This Copyfish-based extension captures a selected area of a page and uploads the image to OCR.space servers to extract text, with optional translation through Google or Yandex. The 'open OCR result in new tab' link opens a JD Cloud page carrying an affiliate channel code instead of a local results page; the OCR text itself is not sent to that page.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed OCR contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
