Is Screenshot to Text(OCR) - Image text extractor safe?

Clean risk

Screenshot to Text(OCR) captures the visible tab when you select an area and processes the image locally for OCR.

When you start a selection, the extension captures the active visible tab, returns the screenshot to the page script, and crops the region you selected. The cropped image is sent to the extension's own OCR frame and processed with bundled Tesseract files, with no confirmed external recipient for the captured image or recognized text.
