# OCR

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b3l6RLM0_Q>" %}

## Introduction

GX-OCR was originally planned as a new feature 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 GX-OCR as a standalone application with several specialized features.

Key Features of GX-OCR:

* Optimized for Window Capture with multi-region support
* Region positions automatically adjust to the game window (e.g., when the window is moved or resized)
* Translated text appears in an overlay above the original text and can be customized (similar to the Hyper Overlay feature in VNTranslator)
* Only supports modern OCR engines with priority given to offline OCR engines
* Only supports translation services officially through API integration

## Quick Start

### 1. Screen and Window Scaling

{% hint style="info" %}
If your monitor is set to a scale greater than 100%, you need to adjust the screen capture and window capture scale settings
{% endhint %}

* 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the OCR Engine is set to `Rapid OCR - OpenVino (English, Chinese, Japanese)`
