Some more information on the tool itself and where to get the same:

ImageTrans - Computer-Aided Image and Comic Translation Tool

Introduction

ImageTrans is a computer-aided image and comic translation tool. It can automatically locate text areas especially ballons in comic page and perform OCR operations using state-of-art OCR technology and a homebrew text areas merging and detecting algorithm, which is specially designed for comics. The original text can be automatically erased and the translation be reinjected.

With this tool we have the highest hopes to get all the Tex issues in English to read.

The tool supports translation using the following algorithms from the different cloud vendors

  • ocrspace
  • baidu
  • tesseract
  • baidu_network
  • youdao
  • azure
  • abbyy
  • baidu_accurate
  • abbyy_cloud
  • clova
  • easyocr
  • google
  • paddleocr
  • sogou
  • tencent
  • WinRT

It is developed by an intelligent devops engineer, I had a day long discussion with the engineer to understand how he achieve such precisions and have provided my suggestions on enhancing the translator for using on the Graphic Novels as well.
