It uses a custom end-to-end model built with Transformers' 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 Unlike many OCR models, Manga OCR supports recognizing multi-line text in a single forward pass, so that text bubbles found in manga can be processed at once, without splitting them into lines.
