A feature that allows users to upload manga files, run OCR on them and read them with LinguaCafe's dictionary toolset just like any text.

+1 i'd REALLY love a built-in OCR capability for lookup of text-in-images like manga CBR/CBZ. There isn't a single browser based app that does this

It will be a time consuming task, but I want to prioritize it, because I'm also interested in using it. I have no idea when, but I'll get there.

You've probably already seen this but this project is a very great tool that allows for local OCR of manga using an NN model, https://github.com/kha-white/mokuro/tree/web-reader

if you use the web-reader branch you can produce .mokuro and then upload the cbz/cbr + .mokuro file to this app https://github.com/ZXY101/mokuro-reader

I'm wondering if LinguaCafe could leverage these tools to create self-hosted OCR for manga
