Setup: VN on PC

• Textractor is a tool used to extract text from Visual Novels

• Clipboard Inserter is used to copy and paste the text extracted by Textractor into a Texthooker page where you can use Yomitan to scan the words and mine it into Anki

Requirements:

• Yomitan On PC already set-up

Textractor

• Download Textractor 5.2.0 folder

  • Some versions are messed up so I recommend sticking to this

  • (Optional) VN Texthooker on Android; Android Setup is required

    • If you don't have 2nd monitor or want to full screen

Clipboard Inserter

• Download Clipboard Inserter from Chrome/Edge or Firefox

• Clipboard Inserter with texthooker page from the Textractor 5.2.0 folder

  • Alternative Texthooker Page w/ Websocket (only for know-how)

• This is required for Visual Novel to run

Set: System Locale - JP (click here)

1. In your PC, press Win + R key

2. Type intl.cpl > enter

3. Administrative > Change System Locale... > Japanese (Japan) > Restart your PC

Setup: Textractor

1. Open the Textractor folder > x86 > Textractor

   • 99% of the time x86 is better
   • You can also create a shortcut or pin it to your taskbar

   

2. Open Textractor app and check Extensions, if something is missing from my list, you can drag it from the folder into the extension window

   

3. Open your Visual Novel then on your Textractor > Attach to game > Find your Visual Novel

   • Sometimes it is named engine, not actual VN name e.g. SiglusEngine

   • It should look like this after attaching

     

4. On your Visual Novel, play it so it can generate the text from the game, after 1-2 dialogues, check back on your Texthooker and find a suitable hooked text from the drop-down menu

   • Check Extra Info and Tips if you have trouble finding the proper hook or the text is messy

5. If it's working properly it should look like this:

Extra Info and Tips

Info 1: Finding the proper texthook

Finding the proper texthook (click here)

• Some VNs is hard to hook, messed and/or missing text, on which case you need to manually find a hook(video guide) or search the internet for one (e.g. Riddle Joker hookcode) then add hook > save hook

• Some VNs problem is the version itself, you'll be safe using JP only version rather than steam/multi-language versions

Info 2: Using Regex to remove unnecessary text

Using Regex to remove unnecessary text (click here)

• When all text is present but there is unnecessary unwanted text, you need to use regex filter which is usually on the 2nd tab of Textractor

• For regex you need some techy knowledge or search around for a specific VN
