A free trial version would be nice. BTW, the nitpicker in me wants to say that sound effects were not covered, only text in speech balloons was caught, as can be seen in their very first picture.
If it can do visual novels too, I'm in.
- dfxm12 6y agoI think people are going to nitpick no matter how sound effects are handled. They are almost as much art as text. It is clearly out of scope for this paper to be able to "redraw" the sound effects in English, plus, some (I'd guess most, but importantly, not all) might want to see the original anyway and have a note somewhere for it's translation. I also think it's out of scope to find a suitable place to put this note - you don't want text to cover up interesting art.
- kevingadd 6y agoYeah, a common general-purpose solution for this is to just put hotspots over all the non-speech-bubble text that you mouse over (or tap) to reveal localized text for. It really sucks, but there's no obvious general solution since the size gap between japanese and english text can be huge. Naturally, those hotspots aren't an option in print or pdf editions...
- the8472 6y agoA common solution is to add footnotes and sprinkle them around the panel gaps.
