Easily get words out of an image with OCR engine!
Image Reader (OCR) - Edge Addon for Easy Text Extraction
Image Reader (OCR) is an add-on for Microsoft Edge. It allows users to effortlessly extract text from any image using an open-source OCR engine, Tesseract. This extension uses a JavaScript library to implement the renowned Tesseract OCR Engine, originally in C and C++. The add-on simplifies the extraction procedure - simply load your image and the OCR language (default set to English). Note that the language data required for OCR operation is fetched from a specific GitHub repository as it is too large to be included in the extension package.

User reviews
It's using tesseract but the trained data-model I am looking for was jpn_vert (it supports only jpn); and secondly, unlike other OCR extensions, this does not OCR from browser, it makes the user copy image-file to its window. (If that was the case, it's best/better to use Windows Snipping Tool with "Text Action" feature, it does incredible OCR of mixed languages and in pretty decent time)
