This is the repository for IMAGE Reader! IMAGE Reader is a web application i'm developing to improve my React skills as well as to get a solid understanding of asynchronous programming. This is a very early iteration of the web app and currently only translates image snippets of japanese text. This was originally supposed to be a manga translator but I realised during development that this can have way more utility than that so I decided to expand upon in!
- Drag and drop upload feature
- Merges two images into one (for later feature)
- Supports vertical (kind of) and horizontal jp texts
- Translates jp text image snippets into a desired language (translation accuracy may very)
- Current languages supported: (English, 한국어, Česky, Français)
- More language sources and targets
- Fix detection for languages with a vertical reading direction
- Add function to remove Moire patterns to detect characters on a screen
