# 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 |
|
|
|
