Honyaku Translation Overlay
Did you ever ask yourself, what would happen if we took the gibberish machine translations produced and threw them together with the unreliable nature of OCR? Then this is the browser extension for you! The aim of this project is simple: Provide a hassle-free way of translating the content of images to English and displaying it as an overlay.
OCR is handled by google cloud vision and translating by Deepl.
Honyaku translation overlay consist of two different solutions: a chrome extension that can translate any publicly hosted image free of charge and a "non free" Windows GUI for private desktop use (Though it's non free in the sense that you need to shoulder the API cost by yourself).
Be aware. Everything is still in wacky alpha state and not reliable or bug free. And so far the current feature set is enough for my own personal needs. But at the same time, only by releasing can I figure out what people need or may want.
Any kind of feedback/feature request is appreciated.

Honyaku Chrome Extension
Is a small and simple extension that is capable of translating any publicly hosted image free of charge into english. In theory. My own use case of japanese to english works but for other languages I may need to change a bit in the server so I don't keep sending non translatable images to Deepl.
There is a maximum amount of approximately 40000 images the server will process per month, after that it will refuse any further translation requests.
Honyaku Windows GUI
A program for translating any screen region through OCR and overlaying the translation with a non interactive overlay. Sadly this is not free and you would need to provide your own API keys to use this.
Please be aware that on the first startup the program downloads QT in the background. I have recently implemented a progress bar feature but haven't gotten yet around to feed the QT download progress into it.
