OCR – Optical Character Recognition

Vide…

Now that I've downloaded Trick or Alice I see that the people who warned me that it is not AGTH/ITH compatible were right, and since my japanese is limited to only a couple hiragana there is no fucking way I can play it without any translator help. Only the voiced lines make somewhat sense.

I found these tools that can capture image text, and both have different problems:

1.Capture2text: If this worked playing the game would have been totally easy, I was counting on this *sob* It allows you to quickly OCR a small portion of the screen and, by default, save the result to the clipboard.So if you have TA running you would just get the translation, neat huh? But the OCR (Optical character recognition) part failed miserably for me, though it worked fine the 1st couple of minutes later it started making mistakes even for the words I can read myself *rage*

EDIT: I managed to improve the translations A LOT by selecting the OCR language as "Japanese(Tesseract). Now it has close to 80% success rate.

2.Online Japanese character recognition: This works MUCH better in case of accuracy, pretty much over 90% rate of success. Sometimes only one or two syllables wrong in one line or so. But you have to input a picture from which the site will recognize the characters, meaning you have to take screenshot of every line OMG SO MUCH WORK FFFFFF

As I said before, there's actually a way to play it with engrish translations.

Though it's quite tiring... But nevertheless it works fine.

First of all, thanks to TheFallen for posting on nihonomaru this solution! ^^

So, the program you will need is called Capture2Text. It's a program which can recognize through the images, the characters, and later, translate it.

It works fine. The problem is the process, since there's no "automatic" process to do it, so that would mean that you have to do it manually every time the text changes.

As for how it works, it's kind of tricky, so let me explain it here briefly (since on its page it doesn't explain clearly how does it work):
