Key features
- Detects text in comic panels and images with AI-based OCR
- Handles vertical Japanese manga and horizontal Korean manhwa layouts
- Translates into a wide range of target languages
- Works on scanned pages, screenshots and other image-based text
Use cases
- Reading a raw Japanese manga chapter before an official translation exists
- Understanding text in a screenshot without retyping it
Getting started
Open the comic page or image in Chrome, then start Scan Translator from the extension to detect and translate the text in place.
Good to know
Images are processed by an OCR and translation service, and results depend on image quality and font styles. Stylised lettering and sound effects may be missed.
