| # 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). |
