Quick Start

Introduction

OCR-GX 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.

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

Key differences between VNTranslator OCR and OCR-GX:

  • OCR-GX 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)

  • OCR-GX prioritizes offline OCR engines, so this initial release only supports modern offline OCR engines

  • OCR-GX 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 OCR-GX, 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)
