AI Manga Translator - One-Click Raw Scan Localization
What it is:
A privacy-first, specialized AI tool designed specifically for manga enthusiasts and scanlators. It automates the entire workflow of translating Japanese and Korean raw scans—from text detection and cleaning to high-quality re-typesetting.
The Problem it Solves:
Traditional OCR and general-purpose translators often fail with vertical Japanese text, complex manga fonts, and dialogue context. This tool eliminates the manual labor of cleaning and redrawing by using AI to seamlessly replace raw text with translated overlays while preserving the original art's aesthetic.
How I Made It:
I leveraged my years of development experience to build a custom pipeline that prioritizes speed and visual accuracy.
The Stack:
Frontend: Next.js & Tailwind CSS for a responsive, clean interface.
Backend: Python-based FastAPI for heavy-duty image processing.
AI/ML: Custom-tuned OCR models for vertical text and LLMs for context-aware manga localization.
