A simple program for Linux to extract the text of a vignette or text balloon from a manga panel.

Note: The images must already be saved in a folder or copied to clipboard to select them.

This is a simple program that I developed in python as a practice to measure my knowledge.As I am just starting in this world, it gives me great joy to share this little project to you.It may be missing a lot of things and features, but this is a start for me.I hope you like it and that it works for your manga translations :)

Note: You must have Python 3 installed on your computer.

Xclip: A Linux mechanism for managing files from the clipboard.

Tesseract OCR: This is the optical character recognition engine used by the program.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr xclip libopencv-dev python3-tk

pip install opencv-python-headless pillow numpy pytesseract

On Linux:

sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-jpn tesseract-ocr-jpn-vert
