Description from store
Namida OCR is a local OCR extension that harnesses Tesseract.js for fast, offline recognition of Japanese text (vertical or horizontal) in Microsoft Edge.
- Snip & OCR: Press Alt + Q on Windows or Option + Q on Mac to snip any region of the page containing Japanese text (vertical).
- Furigana: Choose from either Hiragana or Katakana phonetic pronunciation of Kanji.
- Speak Aloud: Namida OCR can speak the extracted text using Edge’s installed Windows voices—when you have a Japanese language pack or “natura” TTS voices installed.
- Tensorflow Upscaling: Select Tensorflow for sharper text in challenging images, or opt for faster linear up-scaling.
- No External Servers: All processing takes place locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
Ideal for manga, visual novels, or any scenario where you want to quickly extract and optionally listen to Japanese text. Namida OCR keeps everything in-browser and offline, giving you full control over your data.
