Comiglot reads the page, not just the text. Import a comic you already own and the AI translates the speech bubbles in place, keeping the art, the panels and the original layout. This is not word-for-word machine translation. The model looks at the actual page — who is speaking, what happened before, the tone of the scene — and reads the text off the image itself, so it catches lines that plain OCR would garble. WHY NOT WAIT • Raw manga, manhwa and manhua nobody has scanlated yet • New chapters on the day they appear, in your language • Franco-Belgian and European albums never published where you live • Anything you already have as a file HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a file: CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RAR, PDF or EPUB 2. The app finds every speech bubble on every page 3. Pick a quality level and start 4. Read — the translation sits inside the original bubbles THE ENGINE • Two quality levels: a fast one, and a deeper one for dense or difficult pages • Context aware: character voice, slang, honorifics and running jokes survive • Text is fitted into the bubble it belongs to, not stamped across the artwork • 28 target languages MANGA MODE AND PANEL VIEW • Right-to-left reading for manga: swipes, taps and the page slider follow the Japanese order • Prefer left to right? Mirror the page instead • Panel view takes you through a page one panel at a time — comfortable even on a phone READ BUBBLES ALOUD Tap a bubble to hear it. Listen to the translation, or switch to the original — while the original plays, the translated bubble steps aside so you can see the original lettering underneath. Useful when you are learning the script and not only the language. FIX A BUBBLE WITH YOUR FINGER No AI is perfect on every page. Move a bubble, pull its corner to resize it, remove one you do not need. Merge two bubbles into one, split one in two, or add a bubble the scan missed. Not happy with a line? Edit it yourself or ask the AI for alternative translations. Corrections are kept per translation and travel with it when you share. LEARN LANGUAGES — FREE Every comic you translate becomes study material. • Save any line as a phrase together with its translation • Spaced repetition at 1, 3, 7, 21 and 60 days • Five exercise types: pick the meaning, pick the phrase, build it from words, fill the gap, listen and choose • A daily quiz that pays up to 100 tokens This section costs nothing and spends no AI credits — the phrases are already on your device. LIBRARY AND READER • Folders, reading progress, full offline reading after processing • AI Recap: forgot what happened in volume 3? Get a summary • Export a finished translation as a .cmgt file and send it to a friend — they read your translation on their own copy of the book 28 LANGUAGES Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese. COMMUNITY Telegram: https://t.me/comiglot Discord: https://discord.gg/jbJKqdB2CS WHO IT IS FOR • Manga, manhwa and manhua readers who will not wait weeks for a scanlation • BD readers working through Franco-Belgian albums in the original French • Language learners who would rather read a comic than a textbook Comiglot does not host or distribute comics. You bring your own files. Privacy Policy: https://comiglot.app/privacy-policy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
