Quickly Translate Texts from Images & Videos with Copyfish for Chrome

Even though Hollywood maintains its status of being the largest movies producer in the world, many other countries produce movies with breathtaking stories and acting. For example, the giallo movies from the 1970’s era of Italy have always captured the attention of horror movies fans. Then there are Japanese movies with their slow and casual approach culminating in sudden and interesting twists. You are lucky if you can find the English dubbed versions of these movies, otherwise you have to watch these foreign languages movies with subtitles which may or may not include everything. For example, subtitles do not show what is written on buildings or in letters etc.

The Copyfish extension for Chrome can help in situations like this especially if you are watching the video or movie online. The Copyfish extension can capture the text from images, videos and PDF documents and translates it in a language of your choice.
