SelectSight: Text Selection for the Unselectable

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A forthcoming Chrome extension for extracting text from images, paused videos, and selected screenshot regions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

SelectSight organizes its proposed workflow around three source types: images, paused video frames, and regions captured from the visible page. Its stated OCR engine is bundled with the Chrome extension and runs on the device, including during hover-triggered recognition, while the user can review and edit the extracted text before copying it. The first release is explicitly limited: it does not reconstruct tables or convert formulas to LaTeX, and the current preset demo is illustrative rather than live OCR.
