| | # Manga OCR |
| |
|
| | Optical character recognition for Japanese text, with the main focus being Japanese manga. |
| |
|
| | It uses [Vision Encoder Decoder](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder) framework. |
| |
|
| | Manga OCR can be used as a general purpose printed Japanese OCR, but its main goal was to provide a high quality |
| | text recognition, robust against various scenarios specific to manga: |
| | - both vertical and horizontal text |
| | - text with furigana |
| | - text overlaid on images |
| | - wide variety of fonts and font styles |
| | - low quality images |
| |
|
| | Code is available [here](https://github.com/kha-white/manga_ocr). |
