Freelancer Needed to Develop a Manga Text Extraction and Translation Program
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I am looking for a skilled developer to create a program that extracts text from Korean, Japanese, or Chinese comics and translates it using external AI services via APIs. This program will act as a bridge, utilizing existing AI tools for text recognition and translation.
Key Features:
Text Extraction:
Extract text from comic files, including speech bubbles, captions, and annotations.
Handle various formats such as scanned images, PDFs, and digital comics (e.g., PNG, JPG, WEBP, ePUB).
Translation Integration:
Use APIs from AI-based services (e.g., Google Translate, DeepL, OpenAI GPT) for translating the extracted text.
Ensure seamless integration with third-party AI services.
Supported Input Formats:
Image files: PNG, JPG, WEBP.
Document files: PDF, scanned images, DOC.
Output Formats:
Export translations in a structured format (e.g., DOCX or TXT).
Provide side-by-side output showing the original text and its translation.
Process Automation:
Automate processing for multiple pages or files.
Allow users to add new comics, and the program will extract, translate, and save the output automatically.
Requirements:
The program must use external AI services (not create an AI from scratch).
It should support integration with popular AI tools via APIs.
Ensure accurate text extraction, even with stylized fonts.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
Experience with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technologies.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or C#.
Strong understanding of API integrations with AI tools like Google Translate, DeepL, or OpenAI.
Familiarity with handling comic and document file formats.
Deliverables:
Fully functional program with clear user instructions.
Source code for future updates.
Bonus Features (Optional):
Batch processing for multiple comics at once.
Option for users to select or customize the translation API.
