Requirements

Install CDisplayEx
- Manga Reader for PC
Yomitan On PC and ShareX already set-up

Setup: MangaOCR

Download python (3.10.xx ONLY)
- Then choose Windows/mac INSTALLER (64-bit) and install
Check 'Add Python to PATH' (click here)
Open command prompt by winkey/search > cmd
Type pip3 install manga-ocr
- Then just let it download/install for a few mins until it's done and you can type again
- If pip3 is not recognized... then just uninstall Python > restart > install Python (repeat if it didn't work)
Hotkey Settings > OCR (manga_ocr) > Click the COG icon > override screenshot folder > change the path to a specified OCR folder of your choice
In command prompt, type manga_ocr "\path\to\sharex\screenshot\folder"(copy the path that YOU specified in step 4) to start the program, then just minimize the window

- If problem occurs reinstall pytorch by pip uninstall torch then redo the step above, if it still failed, go here
Two options to process, go to cmd then:
- Specified Manga volume: Type mokuro F:\Manga\Saenai\Vol3 (Replace full directory, Saenai and volume #)
- All Manga volumes: Type mokuro --parent_dir F:\Manga\Saenai (Replace full directory, Saenai with your manga name)
