Learn Japanese by reading manga! (Demo video coming soon)

MangaSeer applies an overlay transparent to mouse and keyboard events to any selected region of your screen. It then uses an object detection model to locate both vertical and horizontal Japanese text, with or without furigana. By hovering over the Japanese text, it will display an unobtrusive popup next to the text with options such as text-to-speech, furigana, translation, and more.

MangaSeer aims to make raw manga a viable source for any Japanese learner. If you're ever unsure of the pronunciation or the meaning of a word, you can immediately get the answer by hovering over the text. This makes it easy to immerse yourself in manga without having to look up meanings of words or pronunciations.
