Quick Start

Introduction

GX-OCR was originally planned as a new feature module for VNTranslator. However, during development, we found that integrating it would make the configuration overly complex and potentially confusing for users. As a result, we decided to develop OCR-GX as a standalone application.

GX-OCR is not a new version of VNTranslator OCR. Both applications have different features and methods.

Key differences between VNTranslator OCR and GX-OCR:

GX-OCR is optimized for Window Capture, though Screen Capture is still available as an option
Translated text appears directly over the original text within the OCR bounding box (similar to VNTranslator's Hyper Overlay feature)
GX-OCR prioritizes offline OCR engines, so this initial release only supports modern offline OCR engines
GX-OCR supports official translation services through API integration only

Basic Configuration

1. Screen and Window Scaling

If your monitor is set to a scale greater than 100%, you need to adjust the screen capture and window capture scale settings

Go to Settings -> General
In the Screen Capture section, adjust the Scale value
In the Window Capture section, adjust the Scale value

2. OCR Engine & Translation Service

Before using GX-OCR, configure your OCR Engine for text recognition and set up your preferred Translation Service.

By default, the OCR Engine is set to Rapid OCR - OpenVino (English, Chinese, Japanese)
