Hey ProductHunt! 👋 I'm Junaid, a 21 year old CS student from Karachi, Pakistan — and this is my very first product launch ever. The problem that drove me crazy: Every single day I would see text trapped inside images, screenshots, paused videos, and scanned PDFs that I just couldn't copy. Existing OCR tools either: → Upload your screen to their servers → Cost money → Are slow and clunky → Don't support Urdu or Hindi So I built Pluck. Press Ctrl+Shift+X anywhere in Chrome. Draw a box around any text on screen. It's instantly in your clipboard. Zero uploads. Zero accounts. Zero cost. What makes Pluck genuinely different: 🔒 100% local — Tesseract.js runs entirely in your browser. Your screen content never leaves your device. Ever. 🌍 Urdu + Hindi support — I'm from Pakistan and this audience is completely underserved by every major OCR tool. 300 million Urdu/Hindi speakers finally have something built for them. ❄️ Freeze screen mode — captures tooltips, dropdowns and dynamic content that disappears when you move your mouse. No other free extension does this. 🎯 Smart cleanup — automatically fixes broken line breaks and OCR errors so the text you get is clean and ready to use. 📢 Read aloud — extracts text and reads it out loud using your browser's built in speech. Great for accessibility. I built this in a few days using AI coding tools while studying full time. Shipped it. It went live yesterday. Would genuinely love your honest feedback — what works, what doesn't, what you wish it could do. This is just v1.0. A lot more is coming. 🚀 Thank you for checking it out! — Junaid Building from Pakistan 🇵🇰
