  • manga-ocr

    Optical character recognition for Japanese text, with the main focus being Japanese manga

  • 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.
