What Japanese learning tools do you use on a regular basis?
Steam - lots of games in Japanese, including Visual Novels. Textractor - tool for extracting text from Visual Novels and copying them to clipboard. Combined with Clipboard Inserter, texthooker.html, and 10ten, it makes reading Visual Novels a breeze. ShareX - OCR tool, handy for games and manga. I use it similarly to Textractor, combined with Clipboard Inserter, texthooker.html, and 10ten.

Big Ascendence of a Bookworm haul, super excited to start part 3!
There's wonderful, free tools allowing you to use Yomichan on any LNs you have in .epub format (like ttu reader), visual novels (like Textractor), and even scan the text on any manga in digital format (using mokuro). And since this uses Yomichan, this means you can create one-click-flashcards while enjoying LNs, VNs, and manga.

JP Lazy Immersion Tool Setup Guide: all-in-one modern easy-to-install resources for PC & Android (Anime, Manga, LN, VN)
I think rather than clipboard inserter for VNs, this is wayyy more convenient https://github.com/rampaa/JL having to go back and forth between your VN window and your browser window with clipboard stuff is annoying and fairly inefficient, you lose a lot of time and it just feels unnatural. Meanwhile if you set up this you can read directly from it in the same place that you'd normally read with a VN, it supports anki integration too. Though fair warning, I haven't actually tried this exact program, I use chiitranslite which it's based off of, but CTL gives virus warnings and stuff when you go to download and you have to change some settings and it doesn't have anki integration, so harder to recommend.

Agent - Universal script based text hooker
> why make another hook text translation if there is textractor? I didn't know about Textractor (VNR too) when creating Agent, (I created it while learning about JavaScript engine (V8), emulators,...) Its not Textractor replacer. Agent do the things another text hookers can't, I/g: Emulated games, JavaScript games, MAGES games,... (By design, textractor can't...). > Why not integrate Agent into ...? Textractor, VNR,... is HCode based (same engine). Agent is script based. Agent use a different engine (JavaScript). Normal users can't see the different, but its easy to maintenance, sharing, support new games, complex games,... > the small box. Agent takes the text from the game and only that. You can combine Agent with textractor (clipboard), yomichan, JL (github.com/rampaa/JL), Sugoi,...
