You get

Source TXT

The script as read, one file per chapter. Exports are free.

Works on

any language

Your pages can be in Japanese, Korean, Chinese or anything else. There is no source-language list.

Where it falls short

The honest version, so you can decide.

We are in beta. Every line stays editable, so a miss is a quick fix, not a blocker.

  • Dense sound effects drawn over artwork are still missed sometimes.
  • Handwritten or heavily stylised lettering reads worse than printed type.
  • Reading order follows the page, so an unusual panel layout can come out shuffled.

Questions

What people ask first.

Which languages can it read?
Any. There is no list to pick from: pages in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, English or anything else are read as they are.
Does it work on long webtoon strips?
Yes. A long-strip chapter is read as one strip, whatever files it arrives in, and cut into pages at the gaps between panels. A balloon that was split across two files is whole again before it is read.
What do I get at the end?
The script of the chapter as a plain text file, every line in reading order. The same lines sit on the page in the editor, where a misread one can be corrected by hand.
How does it know the reading order?
From the reading direction you pick when you create the project: right to left for manga, left to right for comics, top to bottom for a long strip. The script follows that order.
