These extensions are some well-known browser automation tools, each with > 100K users.
Did you look at them and decided to do something different?
But great to include the source.
It returns table data line by line.
...so what would be difference to today, where a user can "upload" files to the browser's local storage, and then the web app can work with the file(s)?
I get it that you avoid to have to "re-download" the file, but that seems to be a small benefit for the risks we get.
Your license comes with a year’s worth of updates. Once that year is up, you can keep using the last version of Sketch you downloaded, forever.
That sounds ok to me.

(1) hosted services like mozenda
(2) visual automation tools like Kantu Web Automation (which includes OCR)
(3) and last but not least outsourcing the scraping on sites like Freelancer.com
Now, creating a Word document from a scan is a different beast because it requires layout analysis. This is where Abbyy with its long experience still has a good lead.
Nonsense... Proof: Any other country that has introduced strict gun control. It makes all the numbers go down.
The best - and most expensive - solution is still Abbyy OCR. They provide an SDK than can be used locally.
A new local OCR solution is Anyline.io, but I have not used them yet.

Time will tell if this is enough. It certainly is difficult to turn them into software-focused companies. One reason is that everyone who works there right now, went there to work because she/he wants to work on ICE engines, and not all this "modern stuff".
>Although to be fair, the net number of lives saved by military funding is debatable.)
That is the 2nd, and maybe more important reason.
The main challenge with Chinese is that - unlike any Western language - you can not guess the characters you do not know. You either know it or you don't. Only the context might offer some clues.
Getting started with Chinese: Depends on your talent. For me (untalented) taken a "real" class was essential for a good start. Self-learning for languages does not work for me.

Before that I was using the "Chinese Subtitle Translator" software: https://ocr.space/blog/p/chinese-subtitles-translator.html (Source code at https://github.com/A9T9/Chinese-Subtitles-Translator )
It uses Microsoft OCR and gets very good results.
