OCR manga speech bubbles in your browser, then get furigana, a grammar explanation, dictionary entries and one-click Anki cards. Read Japanese manga in the original and turn the words you don't know into Anki cards. The extension finds the speech bubbles on a manga page and reads their text right in your browser. Click a bubble and the side panel shows: • the line with furigana over every kanji • a short English explanation of the grammar and nuance • a dictionary entry for any word you click (JMdict, built in) • a "+" button that turns a word into an Anki card: reading, meaning, the sentence with furigana and its translation, the explanation and a picture of the bubble GETTING STARTED 1. Open a manga reader page and click the extension icon. 2. Click "Enable on this site". The recognition models download once (about 200–350 MB). 3. Click any speech bubble. For cards, install Anki desktop with the AnkiConnect add-on. The note type is created for you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Text recognition runs on your device (GPU via WebGPU, or CPU). Page images never leave your computer. • Only the text of a bubble you click is sent, and only to get an explanation. • No account, no analytics, no tracking. It runs only on sites you enable. EXPLANATIONS • Free: up to 100 explanations a day, no sign-up. • Unlimited: add your own DeepSeek or other OpenAI-compatible API key; the text goes straight to your provider. • Reading, furigana, the dictionary and cards work without explanations. SLOWER COMPUTER? Switch to on-demand mode in the panel: a page is read only when you click it.
