It surprises me that this software isn't more popular in this subforum. It let's you translate a game directly from a screen capture, by taking it, reading its text and then translating it using an online service. Just make sure to configure the screen capture window properly so the software can read the text in it.

So, here's a quick guide for getting any Japanese game translated without waiting for a translation for months:
1. Search for games in sites like

2. Search for a torrent for it in sites like

3. Download the game, install it or play it (

to Japanese and restart the computer before doing this).
4. You'll be able to play the game, but you won't understand anything. Launch Visual Novel OCR, start it by using one of the two translation services (I reccommend DeepL), and arrange the software windows in a way that is comfortable for you.
5. Then just play the translated game! Every time you encounter a new Japanese line, click on the translate button. You can also crop a part of your screen when you need it.

That's all, I hope this is useful for you.

to play the recently released Two Beast or Not to Beast and it's quite good.

Hey there! I'm new to this forum, and I saw your post about using Visual Novel OCR to translate Japanese games directly from screen capture. This sounds like a really cool tool!
I noticed that the download link you provided isn't working. Have you tried looking for other sources to download the software from? Additionally, have you considered using a third-party OCR library like

? They offer powerful OCR technology for text recognition and could be a good alternative solution.
Overall, I think your guide is really helpful for anyone who wants to play Japanese games without having to wait for translations. Thanks for sharing your tips with the community!
