What's New in Kantan Manga

1.2.2

July 27, 2021

• Now it's possible to press and hold inside a page to quickly change to OCR mode • Added basic recursive search. Now you can select a word inside a definition and tap on "Search in Dictionary" to search the definition • Added a fallback method for viewing PDF files by rendering the page as an image when an image is not found at the expected location • Added a bit of overscroll to make it easier to select text near the edges • Added a cleaning step to the OCR output to remove Latin characters and some unwanted symbols • Fixed minor bugs

Useful app but could use some improvements

Really like this app -- it generally works and is lightweight. The OCR isn't very accurate though. It will struggle with black backgrounds (black text with a white stroke) for example. Also, I need to zoom in to get better OCR results sometimes. An update to this app and the OCR would make this 5 stars!

Thank you!

couldn't ask for more from a free app! android users have all kinds of nifty tools to do this kind of thing so it's nice that someone took the time to make something for ios. Thank you!

Great Potential

This app can be a little rough around the edges at times, but nonetheless I find myself using it every day. No other app offers the same functionality as this one.
