tachiyomiOCR VS Kaku

I looked up some alternatives, and this might work. Worth a try

Some alternatives for Android are Tachiyomi OCR and Kaku

For those who use Tachiyomi (multi featured reading application), there is this, which came out last month. Insanely worth it for reading Manga.

Some people seem to be having trouble installing the app, especially in older android versions. Did uninstalling tachiyomi work? If not, it would be great if you could create an issue on github detailing the problem

As for Android, I use kaku. GitHub link. From my experience it's very good and use Da kanji as a alternative.

sounds like a lot of steps just for one word. if you didn't know there is a fork of tachiyomi that has ocr built in, there's also Ocr Manga reader, kaku and it's also worth looking at mokuro

I've found this app for android (not sure if there is a newer version on their GitHub) that uses OCR (optical character recognition) to detect kanji within games and other apps and show their meanings.

Kaku: Japanese OCR Dictionary

You can install Yomichan in the Kiwi browser on mobile. I do that and it works quite well. If you need something similar outside of a browser, you can use the context menu search (highlight and long-press a word) from Takoboto or Akebi (on Android--not sure about iOS). For text that's not highlightable, I use Kaku OCR.

Not a translator, but the best dictionary would be Kaku: https://kaku.fuwafuwa.ca/

I also worked on a similar project to this before, also with the goal of reading manga (though, it works for pretty much anything on-screen in Android). You can check it out here: 0xbad1d3a5/Kaku: 画 - Japanese OCR Dictionary (github.com)
