Optical character recognition for Japanese text, with the main focus being Japanese manga
This tool helps Japanese manga readers quickly understand the text in images. You can input screenshots or image files containing Japanese text, and it outputs the recognized text, often directly to your clipboard for use with a dictionary. It's designed for anyone reading Japanese comics, light novels, or even video games.
2,582 stars. No commits in the last 6 months. Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need to extract Japanese text from manga, comics, or other image-based content, especially if you want to integrate it with a dictionary or translation workflow.
Not ideal if you need to recognize handwritten Japanese text, as it's specifically trained for printed fonts and styles found in manga.
