## 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

### 2. OCR Engine & Translation Service

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