Bubble Detection

Speech Bubbles Detected, Text Rendered In-Place

Stop wrestling with Photoshop cleaning and typesetting. TransAgent finds every bubble automatically, translates the Japanese inside, and renders the English text back into the original panel — artwork untouched.

Vertical Japanese manga text and SFX translated into English

Japanese-Native OCR

Vertical Japanese, SFX, and Onomatopoeia Handled

Real manga is not just horizontal dialogue. Our OCR is trained on top-to-bottom Japanese writing, hand-drawn sound effects, and stylised SFX like ドキドキ and ゴゴゴ — the things generic translators miss.

Frequently Asked Questions about Manga Translation

Everything you need to know about translating manga pages online

Yes. Upload Japanese manga pages you own to TransAgent and our AI will detect every speech bubble, OCR the Japanese text (including vertical writing), and render the English translation back into the original panel. No Photoshop or cleaning required.

Yes. Our manga-specific vision model locates speech bubbles, thought balloons, narration boxes, and even off-bubble captions. You do not need to crop or mask anything manually.

Absolutely. Japanese manga is typically written top-to-bottom, right-to-left, and our OCR is trained specifically for this orientation. It also handles mixed horizontal and vertical text on the same page.

Upload your manhwa or webtoon pages the same way as manga. Our OCR supports Korean (Hangul) including the tall vertical scroll format used by webtoons like those on Naver or Kakao.

Yes. Batch upload up to 30 pages in a single job. Each page is processed in parallel and you can download the translated chapter as a zip once everything is ready.

Our AI recognises common Japanese sound effects (ドキドキ, ゴゴゴ, バン, etc.) and Korean SFX, then provides English equivalents. Stylised hand-drawn SFX are kept in-place with an overlay translation so the original art is not destroyed.
