Enter Project Naptha!

Project Naptha automatically applies state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms on every image you see while browsing the web. The result is a seamless and intuitive experience, where you can highlight as well as copy and paste and even edit and translate the text formerly trapped within an image.

Here's an example on a post right on imgur! The recognition is not 100% perfect, but it is coming a long way, and if you've ever wanted to grab text from images, then this is possibly one of the coolest advancements in that field as of late!

Try it yourself!
