🖼️ Manga OCR Translator
🚀 Extract and translate text from manga images in minutes. Upload manga panels, choose source and target languages, and get translated text. Supports 16 source languages and any target language. No coding, no translation accounts required.
The Manga OCR Translator reads text from manga panel images, recognizes it using OCR, and translates it to your target language. Each result returns the original text, detected language, translated text in one or more languages, and text bounding boxes. Supports 16 source languages including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, English, and more.
The Actor includes an optional two-step translation enhancer that runs the text through an LLM for more natural, context-aware manga translations.

📋 What the Manga OCR Translator does
Image-to-translation in one step:
- 🖼️ Image input. Upload manga panel image URLs for OCR processing.
- 🌐 16 source languages. Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), English, French, German, Spanish, and more.
- 🌍 Any target language. Translate extracted text to one or more target languages.
- 🔄 Translation enhancer. Optional two-step LLM process for more natural manga translations.
Each result includes the original extracted text, detected source language, translations in each target language, and text positions within the image.
💡 Why it matters: translating manga page by page requires reading Japanese/Korean text, typing it out, and running it through translators. This Actor combines OCR and translation in a single pipeline, processing entire chapters in minutes.
⚠️ Good to Know: OCR accuracy depends on image quality and text clarity. Clean, high-resolution scans produce the best results. Very stylized or hand-drawn text may have lower recognition accuracy.
