What OCR programs actually can help with, though, is if you have something that's really heavy on the obscure kanji, it can cut down on the time required to look them up.Manga Translator is a powerful software that aims to help users to translate and edit the text in a manga/comic pages. And it won't be as automatic as you might be thinking, either, all OCR programs I've tried so far require quite a bit of manual coaching to get it right. But you'll get a terrible 'translation' that doesn't make any sort of sense, of maybe 3/4ths of the source text. They might work reasonably well on technical documents, but there's very little in most manga that resembles that kind of text. Which bring us to the last problem, that machine translations work horribly on manga. And for some not so rare species of shounen, I wouldn't be surprised if you can't even get half.) (For some rare species of seinen, I wouldn't be surprised if you can get above 95%. Don't expect tolerable results from Share/Winny scans.īut let's say you can extract maybe 80% of the text from a manga, give or take a bit depending on the type.

(That includes sfx, of course.)Īnd, though this isn't really a problem as such, you also need high resolution scans. The third problem is that you can forget them doing the hand written text. And those that are at least decent require you to know a fair bit of Japanese in the first place, if you want to use them with any sort of confidence. The second problem is that most OCR programs suck ass at Japanese. The first problem is that OCR programs get very confused in the presence of artwork/bubbles/whatnot inbetween the precious text they're trying to extract.

I've tried it, just to see if it is indeed possible.
