  • Poricom

    Optical character recognition in manga images. Manga OCR desktop application

  • 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.

  • manga-ocr

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

  • Check out manga-ocr for probably the best OCR right now, or Poricom for a version with a user interface, if command line isn't your thing.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • mokuro

    Read Japanese manga inside browser with selectable text.

  • Alternatively, mokuro is a tool running on manga-ocr that converts manga text into text you can scan with a pop-up dictionary like Yomichan. Thanks to Yomichan and Anki's AnkiConnect plugin, this also allows you to create one-click Anki flashcards from Manga.
