SnipText — Store Listing Copy (paste-ready)

Use this for both Microsoft Edge Add-ons and the Chrome Web Store. All URLs below are finalized for GitHub user YL-Raj (repo: sniptext).

PROPERTIES tab

  • Category: Productivity
  • Website: https://github.com/YL-Raj/sniptext (or your GitHub Pages demo URL)
  • Support contact detail: mr.loki549@gmail.com
  • Mature content: leave unchecked
  • Privacy policy URL: https://YL-Raj.github.io/sniptext/privacy.html (enable GitHub Pages on the repo so privacy.html is served — see note at bottom)

PRIVACY tab

  • Does this extension collect personal data / user data? → No
  • If asked to confirm data handling, state: "All processing (capture, crop, OCR) is on-device. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted. The extension makes no network requests."

Permission justifications (paste if prompted):

  • activeTab + scripting: Capture the current tab and display the crop overlay, only on user action (icon click / shortcut).
  • offscreen: Run OCR in a background document so the page stays responsive.
  • storage: Persist local user preferences (e.g., the Enhance toggle) on-device only.

SnipText — Snip & Extract Text

Short description (≤132 chars)

Snip any part of a page — paused video, image, or screenshot — and instantly extract clean, copyable text. 100% on-device.

Detailed description

SnipText turns anything on your screen into editable text.

Click the toolbar icon (or press Alt+Shift+S), drag a box over any region — a paused video frame, an image, colored text, or a plain screenshot — and SnipText reads the text inside it and gives you a clean, copy-ready result.

WHY SNIPTEXT
• 100% on-device — the OCR engine is bundled in. Your screenshots and text never leave your computer. No uploads, no servers, no account, no tracking.
• Works on hard images — a smart Enhance mode (grayscale + auto-invert + thresholding) reads colored and light-on-dark text that normal OCR drops.
• Clean output — automatically fixes broken line-breaks and reflows text into tidy paragraphs. Toggle between Clean and Raw.
• Fast — copy to clipboard or download as .txt in one click.
• Private by design — no network requests at all.

HOW TO USE
1. Click the SnipText icon or press Alt+Shift+S.
2. Drag a selection box over the text you want.
3. Hit Extract — copy or download the result.

Perfect for grabbing quotes from videos, text from infographics, code from screenshots, or anything you can see but can't select.

Note: extensions can't run on browser-internal pages (edge://, chrome://) or the store pages themselves.

ASSETS you still need to upload

  • Screenshots: at least 1, size 1280×800 (or 640×400). Best: a real capture of SnipText extracting text from a paused video — take it with the extension running.
  • Store logo: 300×300 PNG. (I can generate one from your icon if you want.)
  • Optional promo tiles.

ONE-TIME: host the privacy policy

  1. Push the sniptext repo to GitHub.
  2. Repo → Settings → Pages → Source: deploy from main (root).
  3. Your policy will be live at https://YL-Raj.github.io/sniptext/privacy.html — paste that into the Privacy policy URL field.
