A desktop GUI application that uses deep learning to automatically translate comics and manga, combining text detection, OCR, inpainting, and machine translation with one-click operation. It includes image and rich-text editing tools for refining translations, plus LLM-based translation with context history and glossaries.

Use cases

• translate manga pages automatically with one click
• erase original text from comic speech bubbles and inpaint the background
• machine translate Japanese or English comics into Chinese
• edit translated text with rich text formatting and font presets
• translate webtoons with consistent character names using an LLM glossary
• export translated comics to Word documents

When to choose

• you need to translate manga/comics with automatic text detection, OCR, and text removal in one tool
• you want a GUI with image inpainting and rich-text editing to polish machine translations
• you want LLM translation with translation history and reusable glossaries for consistent terminology

When to avoid

• you need production-grade professional translation without human review
• you only need plain document or subtitle translation rather than image-based comics
• you cannot run GPU-accelerated deep learning models locally or lack the required resources
