🎠 Lancet 26.3.11.0 released
Some users reported Lancet doesn't work on Wayland. I don't use Wayland (I use i3wm), so I wasn't aware. This is a Qt limitation, but it can be worked around by using an external screenshot tool. I plan to fix it soon.

Meet Lancet — AJATT's new OCR app for reading manga.
Lancet is the spiritual successor to transformers_ocr. It's an OCR app that uses PyTorch models to recognize Japanese text in images and works best with Goldendict‑ng or Rikaitan.
Like transformers_ocr, Lancet is simple to use. After installing Lancet, launch Goldendict and open a manga folder in nsxiv. Start Lancet and wait for the OCR model to load. Press the OCR shortcut (default Alt+O) to open the snipping window, then drag and hold the mouse to run OCR.
Lancet adds an icon to the system tray. Right‑click the icon for actions, including Preferences, where you can change the OCR shortcut.

Transformers OCR is deprecated
Since 2022 and until now, transformers_ocr has been the main manga OCR app for AJATT. It's time to move on. Last week we published a new project, zala. Zala is a screenshot utility I intend to use as a dependency in our new manga OCR app. zala will handle screenshots, while the main app will perform OCR and integrate with Goldendict.
We replaced transformers_ocr for two reasons:
transformers_ocr lacks a built-in screenshot utility, so it had to support many external tools (maim, grim, gnome-screenshot, spectacle, etc.), different desktop environments, Xorg and Wayland, and various window managers.
Its architecture expected one component to run in the background while another sent commands to it via a pipe. That approach is brittle and often breaks.
The successor is Lancet. Check it out: https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/lancet

Today I published a new project. It's a screenshot utility that I wanna use in our manga OCR app as a dependency.
Basically, zala will be responsible for taking screenshots and the main app will be responsible for OCR and interacting with goldendict. This is better than our current approach with transormers-ocr where we had to support a ton of different screenshot utilities such as maim, gnome screenshot, account for different DEs and window managers, etc.

Japanese drivers have difficulty remembering to drive on the left side. They naturally tend to lean toward driving on the right, which is the proper way, but considered incorrect in Japan.

How Japanese people eat. #japan #food
Do you remember the Japanese teenager who licked sushi in the conveyor restaurant and put them back?
There is another video on the Internet in which a Japanese man ate powdered konacha tea with a spoon and put the spoon back.
Usually, with this spoon, everyone puts the right amount of tea into a cup and makes it with boiling water from the tap. You can't lick it, and there's no reason to do it at all.
