If you haven't checked it out my other app Nihongo has a good OCR + dictionary setup. You can see a demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffRxPyc9K8A https

Ahh yes that's basically perfect! Let me know when there's an Android version ;)

  Haha yes! I would LOVE to make the app for Android someday. But as a solo dev, it’s just too much to take on on my own. If Nihongo ever blows up and I make enough to hire someone to help me out, an Android app is top of my list.

    Web apps work everywhere, fwiw

      If I’m paying for an app; and it’s not native, it usually annoys the hell out of me; I’ll gravitate towards a native option every time.

Oh wow, first time I see an OCR that can deal with 行書体. How extensive is your dataset for 行書 and do you also have 草書 or 隷書?
- chrisvasselli 4y ago
  Under the hood, it's actually using Google's Cloud OCR API. Not sure how well it handles 草書 or 隷書, but it does a pretty remarkable job with 行書. Also does surprisingly well with super pixelated text. I can look up words in 16-bit games trying to squeeze kanji into 16x16 sprites or something, and it holds up incredibly well. You can also swap out the OCR API it uses. Right now I support Google and ocr.space.
