Overview

OCR the current page of an Internet Archive book with Gemini and translate it.

Ever needed to read a book written in a language you don't speak? Tired of copy/paste ad infinitum (that's Latin, see what I did there?) This extension is your answer. Open an Internet Archive book, set the page view to single mode, and hit the OCR + Translate button. The extension will open a sidebar with the translated text, the original text below it, and finally any historical / contextual background the AI engine thinks you might want to know.
