Fast workflow
Start with a clear panel or page. If the page is dense, crop the panel that matters most before uploading.
Use the manga translator to detect speech bubbles, translate the Japanese text, and render English back near the original text positions.
- Use sharp scans
- Avoid covered or cropped bubbles
- Try one panel first when the full page is dense

Vertical Japanese text
Japanese manga often uses vertical text, short sound effects, and compact captions. Clear vertical text works best when it is not distorted or heavily stylized.
What can go wrong
Low-resolution scans, extreme lettering, and very busy double-page spreads may produce unstable text detection. A tighter crop usually improves the result.
