# TextMuncher

> TextMuncher is a browser extension and web app that extracts text from Kindle Cloud Reader screenshots and EPUB files using automated screenshots and OCR.

## What It Does

TextMuncher solves the problem of copy-paste restrictions in Kindle Cloud Reader and other browser reading workflows where text is visible but hard to reuse.

- **Browser Extension:** Automates hands-free page turning and screenshot capture for Kindle Cloud Reader (Chrome + Firefox).
- **Web App OCR:** Upload screenshots for text extraction using Tesseract.js. Speed mode runs locally with no server uploads; optional Pro Quality mode sends hard-to-read pages for a cloud second pass.
- **EPUB Processing:** Upload EPUB files for direct text extraction -- no OCR needed.

## Key Facts

- Speed mode is the default: processing is client-side and privacy-first. Pro subscribers can optionally switch on Quality mode for a cloud second pass on hard-to-read pages.
- Free tier: 30 automation pages, unlimited manual OCR uploads
- Pro tier: $9.99/month or $48/year for unlimited automation
- Available on Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons
