Poricom VS mpvacious

MangaOCR on github is really good. There are two main gui of it that i know of. The first is a whole gui reader of it and is called poricom. The second lets you ocr anything on the screen when pressing alt+q and is called cloe. Here are the links : https://github.com/kha-white/manga-ocr https://github.com/blueaxis/Poricom https://github.com/blueaxis/Cloe

Poricom

mokuro if you want to preprocess your manga and then have all text be scannable, Poricom if you want a reader program that uses OCR.

Poricom is probably what you could be happy with. Download the program, launch it, and when asked whether to import the "manga-ocr model", say yes. It will download it for the first time, and whenever you start the program, you'll have to click "yes" again so it uses that model.

Reading manga is a little more involved - you can't use Yomichan on them due to the text not being actual text, but an image of text. You can turn them into text by using an OCR program, like manga-ocr. If using the command line is too scary for you, check out Poricom, which runs on manga-ocr, but also has a user interface. You can even combine this with a texthooker to automatically paste text you scan from a manga to an empty page, where you can then Yomichan it.

For text that is only available as a PDF or image format - like Manga - an OCR tool is what you want. I found manga-ocr to be the most accurate one by far. If installing Python stuff is scary for you, consider Poricom instead, which is a desktop application using manga-ocr. You can then go a step further and combine either tool with texthooking so you can use Yomichan on the text you OCR'd instead of needing to manually paste into a dictionary.

I use mpv because you can use mpvacious for language study. I also use custom scripts to locate subtitles automatically in non-trivial folder structures.

mpv, mpvacious [1], and anki

I've been learning spanish, and since hitting the intermediate stage outside of talking I mainly watch spanish shows or dubbed shows (Star trek TNG). I can create flash cards of difficult to understand phrases, or new words in seconds.

I usually still edit them slightly depending on my purpose for the flashcard, but having > 2000 cards right now, I can't imagine what doing this by hand, or manual review would have cost me.

I do sentence cards, meaning whenever I encounter an i+1 sentence in my immersion, I make a card for it. Thanks to a bunch of addons (first and foremost mpvacious), this takes like 2 to 3 button presses. "transferring the data from dictionaries to flashcards" what you're describing seems to be misguided in my opinion; once you're out of the beginning stages, you want to learn words in context to get to know all their nuances, connotations and special senses.

I'm well aware of the myriad of tools. I prefer mpvacious combined with Yomichan over anything else that's available. asbplayer is the only decent tool for Netflix and other web players but mpvacious is simply better because you can far more quickly create flashcards.

For Japanese immersion, I am using the following setup to automatically parse and analyse subtitle sentences in a series I am watching: https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/mpvacious To briefly explain: each subtitle sentence automatically gets placed on my clipboard in the mpv media player; Yomichan, a browser extension, tracks what's on my clipboard and automatically parses each sentence if it is Japanese.

Hey guys! I have windows 10 pro and was just following some ideas shared in a youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbg6ztWecbU) that mentions the idea of using mpv to create anki flashcards. The issue I'm running into is that while all my basic keyboard shortcuts seem to work, I want to use a script called mpvacious: https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/mpvacious
