Description
Most manga translators rebuild the page to translate it: erase the text, repaint the background, print new text on top. That rebuild is where results break — cut edges, bubbles translated halfway, and a wait before you see the damage. NekoYaku never touches the page. It reads what is already on screen and lays the translation over it, in seconds. Close a card and the original art is right there. Three modes, 15 languages. Free to start: 30 credits, no card. Or use your own API key.

Could you build this?
Yes The tool overlays translations directly onto existing screen captures or browser viewports using OCR (e.g., Manga-OCR), an LLM translator, and an overlaid canvas/DOM layer without inpainting.
