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!
