Follow the full discussion on Reddit.
I'd like to share what i've been working on for a while. A python desktop app for automatically translating comics in a variety of formats (Image, Pdf, Epub and comic book archives) and in multiple languages. It uses 2 yolov8 models i trained for detection and segmentation, a suite of models for OCR depending on the language and a finetuned lama checkpoint for Inpainting.
